In the last 4 days, we did the most beautiful thing together. We, 664 of us, pitched in and raised over $100,000 for climate champions running for local offices – a list of 13 #GreenNewDeal candidates put together by @LeadLocally and @DataProgress. This thread tells the story.

These dollars in the home stretch really matter – they mean the campaigns can focus on talking to voters instead of fundraising. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/green-new-deal-slate">https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/gree...
Special shoutout to @whitjones, founder of @LeadLocally, who became my behind-the-scenes partner in this, helping to track donations and rustle up matches. We didn& #39;t dare to dream of $100K until last night and there& #39;s a lesson – DREAM BIGGER our team is dope.

Local elections matter IMMENSELY for climate – from county fracking bans, to municipal composting, to bike lanes, public transit & building codes. #VoteClimate
