John,
With less than 5 days until Election Day, we need all hands on deck to elect the only Michigan candidates endorsed by the progressive Working Families Party: Gabriela Santiago-Romero and Denzel McCampbell.
The Michigan Working Families Party is getting out the vote for these bold change-makers who will serve the people rather than corporations. Both members of the Democratic Socialists of America, Denzel and Gaby are running against corporate Democrats.
Here’s part of their flyer for Get Out the Vote events for Gaby and Denzel:
In these last few days until Election Day, every moment counts when knocking doors and calling voters. Will you chip in today to support the Michigan Working Families Party PAC’s urgent Get Out the Vote work to elect these people-centered champions?
The Working Families Party’s Neighborhood Captains program has mobilized Detroiters to encourage their neighbors to vote.
In addition to knocking on doors and making phone calls, these captains have hosted neighborhood events to discuss issues and build relationships with their neighbors. This is an important step toward long-term community-based relational organizing that regularly engages voters in issues that impact them.
Denzel has led campaigns for justice and equity, voting rights and campaign finance reform, and responsive governments that co-govern with constituents. He is running against a State Representative who has voted with Republicans against paid family leave, against raising the minimum wage, and against public school funding—while failing to protect reproductive rights.
Detroit is one of the poorest cities in the country, so its residents deserve elected leaders who serve the working class. Denzel and Gaby are running for Detroit City Council to make housing and healthcare affordable, protect immigrants and other vulnerable residents, hold corporate polluters accountable, and push for a budget that centers community investment.
Gaby, who’s running for re-election, hit the ground running in her first term on the council. She secured funding to keep Detroiters in their homes and to support first-time homeowners, passed a policy to protect Detroiters from industrial pollution, and created a successful Community Violence Intervention program. She’s also offering “know your rights” trainings for immigrants and championing policy to limit local police cooperation with ICE.
Right now, we need a surge of grassroots funding to help Gaby and Denzel overcome corporate PAC spending and win on Tuesday—Election Day.
Please donate to the Michigan Working Families Party PAC’s urgent work to Get Out the Vote for these people-powered change-makers. Together, we’re fighting for a government that serves the people rather than corporations or billionaires.

Rashida
