Election Day countdown: 25 days
Hi Friends,
This week, to expand upon our commitment to make politics accessible to a new generation of candidates, we announced that we will support eight extraordinary, young leaders.
Among many key races, these candidates will help us win:
Pennsylvania for Biden and flip a congressional seat for Eugene DePasquale.
A U.S. Senate seat for Jaime Harrison in South Carolina.
Florida for Biden and keep a congressional seat for Rep. Debbie Murcasel-Powell.
North Carolina for Biden and flip a U.S. Senate seat for Cal Cunningham.
Each of them brings a new generation of leadership to their states that will dramatically transform their communities and our country.
Learn more and help us invest in more groundbreaking young leaders.

China trumps Trump: “Alongside its attempt to change the language of our global operating system, China has sought to master and control the international bureaucracy, in part by creating institutions of its own...But Chinese ambitions now reach into the UN system too.” The Atlantic
