Donations are Desperately Needed
As of May 16th we’ve raised over $15,442 – all thanks to you!
As our base of hard-working volunteers grows, the need to equip them properly grows too. Every volunteer needs a T-shirt, literature, pens, boards, and more!
They’re willing to get out there and do the work. Can you be the wind beneath their wings?

This Week’s Featured Endorsement
We’re proud to announce we have received the endorsement of the Seattle chapter of Democratic Socialists of America!
We’ll keep building these vital partnerships to ensure victory.
I know you all are as passionate about achieving universal healthcare as I am. We really cannot do this without your support. I hope you will help by volunteering or donating today.
Solidarity,
