Hi John,

Will we see you at tonight's Unapologetically Progressive & Black virtual event? It's a great opportunity to learn about how to better support Black candidates and build power.

We're lucky enough to have an all-star lineup of speakers, too. Check them out:

Crystal Hudson, candidate for New York City Council, District 35
Alyia Gaskins, candidate for Alexandria (VA) City Council
Justin Bibb, candidate for mayor of Cleveland (OH)
Ayomu Obuseh, candidate for Madison (WI) Common Council, District 8
And our moderator, Run for Something alum and Vice Mayor of the Coral Springs (FL) Commission, Joshua Simmons.

Running for office is hard. Running for office as a Black candidate facing systemic and cultural racism makes it even harder.

If we truly care about diversity and equity and justice in our political systems, then it's important to understand the variety of perspectives Black candidates bring, the specific challenges they face, and how we can help overcome those challenges.

So if you're free, please join tonight's Unapologetically Progressive & Black virtual event. It's a guaranteed can't-miss-it panel!

Unapologetically Progressive & Black || Moderated by Joshua Simmons || featuring Crystal Hudson, Justin Bibb, Ayomi Obuseh, and Alyia Gaskins || 02/18/21 @ 8:00 p.m. ET
