Jason,
The number 13 is usually unlucky, and during Halloween sometimes a little scary if you're superstitious. But we're taking the Taylor Swift approach to 13 and making it our lucky number because we have 13 incredible candidates running in tight races who need our support!
These 13 candidates are young, dynamic, diverse, and exceptional progressive leaders — and there's nothing scary about that at all. Chip in $13 right now to support these incredible 13 young, progressive candidates before Election Day next week!
Here's what is scary, though:
Our political system is stacked against young people — in favor of those who are older, wealthier, and white. In 2020, Millennial and Gen-Z individuals only held 21% of State Legislative seats despite representing 45% of the electorate.
And too often our political leaders are pushing agendas that fail to meet the moment on the issues that will affect the rest of our lives: extreme economic inequality, climate change, mass shootings, and more.
But we don't have to live like this — unlike almost every character in a slasher movie, we can change our fate.
By electing these 13 young leaders to their national and state houses, we're ushering in the next generation of politicians that will tackle these issues head-on rather than ignore them.
Happy Halloween!
– David
