Are you on board,?

  Hi there — If you’re on the fence about donating to our grassroots team this far out from Deborah’s next election, we get it — November 2024 seems far away. But before you continue down your inbox, here are three reasons you should contribute to support our work: One of the hardest…

  I know Mondays are typically busy, so I’ll keep this short, folks — Our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is fast approaching, and we’re pacing a little slower than usual. To be honest, I get it — with things like this, it’s out of sight, out of mind. However, deadlines are …

Hours away

  I’ll get straight to the point, folks, Our mid-month fundraising deadline is just a few hours away, and we’re falling behind on hitting our goal. It’s important that we get back on track as quickly as possible because Republicans are wasting no time in targeting seats to expand thei…

Fair maps

What’s at stake

  Friend, By now, I’m sure you’ve heard how much is at stake in this election cycle, especially because the House majority is not in our favor. But we don’t talk enough about our secret weapon — goal-setting. Every three months, our team sits down and decides on a quarterly budget. Th…

How we can uplift women

  Folks, This International Women’s Day, I want to take a moment to reflect on women’s rights in our country, and how we can uplift women. I recognize this year’s celebration may not feel like one, especially at a time when our freedoms and autonomy are being stripped away one by one.…

Republicans are on the offensive

  It’s happening, team — In some of the earliest spending of this election cycle, a dark money organization tied to McCarthy is spending over $2 million in attack ads against our efforts to expand Medicare to those who need it most. That’s not all — they’re also targeting a dozen of D…

We can’t look away
