Our ancestors didn’t organize, march, bleed, and pray so we could shrug our shoulders now.
Jason, Donald Trump conspired with the MAGA Gov. of Tennessee to try to eliminate my Democratic majority-Black district.
But our ancestors didn’t organize, march, bleed, and pray so we could shrug our shoulders now. We must honor their legacy by standing up, by showing up, and by refusing to be quiet when the foundation of our democracy is being chipped away.
That’s why I’m asking you to join me now — not with despair, but with determination.
I'm personally asking you to consider splitting a $10 donation to Leaders We Deserve and toward our new $100,000 Defend District 9 goal. Your donation and support now does more than just support our People-powered campaign for Congress — it truly powers our new mission to save this district from total elimination in a corrupt Republican power grab.

After the shameful Supreme Court decision that gutted the strongest protection against discrimination in voting secured by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it's clear that Republicans understand something simple: the more People are allowed to participate fairly in our democracy, the harder it is for them to hold onto power.
I spoke to the New York Times about this and here is what I said:
Republicans are going to do what they’ve always done — rewrite the rules to their advantage, abuse the law, and disenfranchise every community they can to silence dissent, suppress votes, and take away representation.
If you can, please split $10 toward our new $100,000 fundraising goal to defend district TN-09, and continue building the People-powered Movement that will never back down from the GOP’s authoritarianism.

The only way they'll stop is if the People fight back so loud that they can't silence us.
In Love & Service,
