Faith,
You want tangible proof that electing more young leaders can accelerate progress and stop us from moving backward? Just look at the work Delegate Nadarius Clark, our very first elected candidate, is doing in Virginia:
Republicans in the Virginia legislature want to pass legislation arming public school teachers. It's insane — the only things teachers should be armed with are a living wage and school supplies that they didn't have to pay for.
But thanks to Nadarius, the bill didn't even make it out of committee. As the youngest person in the legislature, Nadarius understands the reality kids are facing in school firsthand, and he knows the last thing they need is teachers with guns.
Without Nadarius's win in the most competitive race in VA Dems wouldn't have a majority, he couldn't be the head of this committee and teachers would be allowed to be armed in VA. But they aren't. That's because he WON in part due to your support of Leaders We Deserve that enabled us to give him $100k — winning by only about 800 votes.
We need more leaders like Nadarius in Congress and state legislatures all over the country, and we have big plans to make that a reality. We've already endorsed seven candidates for the 2024 election cycle, and we'll be endorsing even more very soon.
But as a grassroots organization, we need your help to make sure they win. We don't take any corporate donations — your support is what powers our work 100%.
If you want to elect more young leaders like Nadarius this November, pitch in $5 to support Leaders We Deserve today.
