John,

We have some HUGE news. Ms. Rachel just announced her support for Becca.

Yes, that Ms. Rachel! The teacher who has helped millions of children learn, feel seen, and find joy named just 12 candidates across the country who she believes truly “care about all kids.”

Becca was the only sitting member of Congress on her list.

Before we get into it, we gotta ask: with Becca’s primary just eight days away, will you click here and chip in $8, $18, or $28 today to help us turn this HUGE announcement into the grassroots momentum we need right now? [[link removed]]

STAND WITH MS. RACHEL + BECCA [[link removed]]

That is a pretty big deal. But it also makes perfect sense.

Ms. Rachel has built her work around two values Becca holds just as dear: kindness and courage.

The kindness to see every child as precious, worthy, and deserving of a future.

The courage to stand up for them, even when powerful people would rather you stay silent.

Before Becca ever cast a vote in Congress, she was a middle school teacher in four rural Vermont public schools. She knows every child who walks into a classroom is somebody’s whole world.

That belief has guided her entire career. It is why she fights for strong public schools, affordable childcare, healthcare, food on the table, and freedom from gun violence.

It is why she has fought to protect lifesaving healthcare for trans kids and stood against Trump pouring billions into an ICE detention system that locks up children and families.

And it is why she refuses to look away when children are being bombed, starved, displaced, or denied a future.

All kids means all kids. Trans kids. Immigrant kids trapped in ICE detention. Kids in Vermont, across the United States, in Israel, in Gaza, and in Iran. ALL kids.

Becca has pushed for a ceasefire, the release of the hostages, humanitarian aid, and an end to U.S. support that fuels more death and suffering.

And she has done it even when speaking out came with a political cost.

HELP BECCA KEEP SPEAKING OUT! [[link removed]]

Ms. Rachel has faced relentless attacks for using her platform to defend Palestinian children. And Becca knows something about that.

She knows what it feels like to be targeted for standing by your values. She also knows the answer cannot be silence. But Becca did not go to Congress to learn how to look away.

She went to fight for a world where children can attend school without fearing a bullet, see a doctor without bankrupting their parents, eat a full meal before, during AND after school, sleep beneath a safe roof, live openly as exactly who they are, and grow up without bombs falling around them.

Ms. Rachel put Becca’s name on a very short list because she knows Becca has the kindness to care about every child and the courage to keep fighting for them.

Now we need to make sure Becca can keep doing that work.

If you are in this with us, consider clicking here and chipping in today to help us build the grassroots strength Becca needs to keep a teacher, a mom, and a fearless champion for all kids in Congress. [[link removed]]

With courage and kindness,

— Team Becca
