We don't need to be louder than the lies — we just need to be louder with the truth.
Faith, when focus groups are asked what animal best represents the Democratic Party, do you know what they say? A turtle. Yes, a turtle. 🐢
Guess what animals they cite for Republicans? 🦁 Lions. 🦈 Sharks.
That's the perception — and it needs to change. Because here's the reality:
Our generation is changing what it means to lead from the ground up. And we're done with waiting for the same old politicians to make it happen.
Take Austin, Texas, where bold, progressive city council members spearheaded the largest zoning reform in any major U.S. city — it was so effective that it lowered rents while prices skyrocketed elsewhere.
Or look at what we achieved after Uvalde — not just stronger background checks but the creation of the first-ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention at the White House. That office oversaw billions in funding and helped deliver the two largest one-year reductions in gun homicides in U.S. history.
We did that. Because our policies center people and communities first. And they save lives.
At Leaders We Deserve, we back young candidates who are done waiting and ready to fight like hell to win. Our candidates aren't afraid of bucking the status quo — and they know that the American people have waited long enough for meaningful progress.
This is important work, but it's expensive, Faith. We're not backed by billionaires. We don't take corporate PAC money. Our strength comes from people like you — and we can't continue electing the next generation without your help.
They may call us turtles now, but our generation is going to prove them wrong.
If you're tired of our people-power being underestimated, will you help us rewrite the story by pitching in $5 now to power the next generation of leaders?
