House Party with Run for Something featuring Kim Jackson and Nancy Metayer
02/22/21 @ 7:00 p.m. ET
House parties are
usually ticketed events because they're an amazing chance for grassroots activists to hear from movement leaders on a personal level.
But Sen. Kim Jackson and Commissioner Nancy Metayer are incredible, and the entire community deserves a chance to meet and learn from them!
You can RSVP to this month's FREE House Party now >>>
SEE YOURSELF RUNNING
02/25/21 @ 8:00 pm ET
This Black History Month, we set out to challenge ourselves to do better and be better. It's not enough to say run for office:
We're saying, we got you.
This month and for the remainder of 2021 (and beyond), we are encouraging Black young progressives to sign up to run for office with Run for Something.
Is that you? Then this event is for you.
The truth is BIPOC people running for office face hurdles and challenges that white candidates don't. And to overcome them, candidates need more than the basics.
At this month's virtual conversation, you'll hear from our alumni who have gone through the process and can help you navigate everything from fundraising to talking about police brutality. We will also be providing support around running for office from some of our mentors and partners.
Are you a Black young progressive weighing a run for state and local office? Sign up, learn about running for office as a Black candidate, and access our resources to help you win lasting power for your community.
Looking Forward To It with Josh Gondelman
02/27/21 @ 8 p.m. ET
Here's a really fun one for you, John: a virtual comedy show hosted by the incomparable
Josh Gondelman -- writer with
Desus & Mero and
Last Week Tonight -- featuring a host of exciting acts as well as our very own Amanda Litman (who will not be doing any comedy, sorry and you're welcome!).
The proceeds will support our work for 2021 and beyond, all the while providing guests with a night of top-tier entertainment!
Want to join us? Buy your ticket now -- there's no set price, just chip in what you can and come enjoy the show.
