WHILE YOU ARE HERE AND MAD: Michigan and Wisconsin and Texas and all the states we could win this November NEED you. Progressive champions need you. Bold candidates of color and women leaders need you. If you want a better world, you NEED to volunteer and organize and fight.

Our political landscape, the nature of news cycles, & the for-profit nature of mass media does not existentially uplift substantive policymaking or the unglamorous work of public service — but that’s how meaningful & progressive change happens. Fight, even if no one is watching.

Good governance is not about the good you do when there are cameras and people watching. It’s about the good you do silently and earnestly, without desire for glory or personal political gain, just because it serves the public good.
