Chop Wood, Carry PA 4/28
Y’all, I know I just wrote, but on Tuesday I did a phonebank for Summer Lee, who’s running for Congress in PA-12. It was SO GREAT I had to tell you about it.
I found out about Summer from Climate Hawks Vote—I tend to trust whatever they say, so when they asked me to phonebank for her I said yes without knowing anything about her. But once I started my research I got really excited. She’s an awesome candidate! Endorsed by everyone I respect—Food and Water Watch, Sunrise, Working Families Party, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren…I could go on. She’s deeply involved in the climate justice movement, as well as the fight to raise the minimum wage. She’s brilliant. She’s unafraid.
Food and Water Watch thinks that, when it comes to climate, her race is the “single most important Congressional race” we’re seeing this cycle. Wow.
The primary election is May 17th. Lee is running against a corporate Democrat whom we do NOT want to win. Please won’t you help her? These phonebanks not only make a difference, but they’re truly fun. Heartwarming, even.
The picture above shows you all of us today.
Will you be in next week’s screenshot?
Sign up here. The phonebank runs the next 3 Tuesdays from 3-5 PDT.
Thanks,
Jess
P.S. If you just can’t do phone calls please consider making a donation to Summer through her website.
