John,

From rising costs to cuts in nutrition and healthcare services, our communities are hurting.

We created the Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to invest in our communities and ensure no one goes without. Each month, our campaign team is pitching in at food pantries, community dinners, and more.

Here we are this month helping fill backpacks with school supplies and pajamas for local school kids:

We’re also providing direct financial support, donating $1,000 each to 9 food banks during the government shutdown earlier this month, and donating nearly $100,000 this year, mostly to nonprofit organizations in our communities.

This holiday season, if you’re able, donate to my Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to invest in people and communities at this urgent time of need.

Thank you for always putting community first.

John,

This Black Friday, instead of bargain shopping on Amazon, I hope you’ll consider supporting families in need.

When we created our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC (RIC PAC), it was always about much more than training young people and candidates to run for office and give back to their communities. It was also about direct community support.

This year alone, RIC PAC has donated nearly $100,000, mostly to nonprofits providing critical services to our communities. Members of our campaign are in the community every week, whether it’s supporting diaper drives, collecting canned food, or helping out at community dinners.

Here are members of our campaign team helping the Metropolitan Detroit Diaper Bank package up pajamas and school supplies for kids in Metro Detroit:

We supported the Elmwood Blessing Box this year with direct financial support, allowing them to purchase diapers and period supplies.

And, we’re adopting families this Christmas through local nonprofits, including Goodfellows.

This holiday season, will you make a donation to our Rooted in Community Leadership PAC to help provide direct support to nonprofits and service providers in the Detroit area who are ensuring no one goes without this winter.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

Your support makes all of this possible. Thank you for your generosity this holiday season.

In love and solidarity,

Rashida
