The second step for our generation

Let me tell you what I think, {NAME}. Young people are smart. We pay attention to the issues. We’re showing up to vote. But to me, this is only the first step for our generation. The second step? Running. [We need young people on the ballot. We need young people in elected office.]( That’s why I teamed up with Kevin Lata, the campaign manager who helped elect the first ever Gen-Z member of Congress last year, to launch Leaders We Deserve. [{NAME}, if you agree that we need more young, courageous leaders running for office, will you pitch in $15 to help Leaders We Deserve make it happen?]( As a generation, we grew up hearing that to survive a school shooting, we had to run, hide, and fight. I think our generation needs to reinterpret what that means. - [We need to run—for office.]( Representation won’t happen on its own. - [We need to stop hiding]( from our responsibility to our country and planet. - [We need to fight]( for a better government and a better future for everyone. That’s why Leaders We Deserve exists. We’re helping young people run for office and win—like Nadarius Clark, our endorsed candidate who just won in Virginia. [Leaders We Deserve was founded to recruit and support the next generation of leaders. Will you help us take the second step and donate $15 right now?]( [Chip in $15 now >>]( [Chip in $25 now >>]( [Chip in $50 now >>]( [Chip in $100 now >>]( [Chip in another amount now >>]( Thanks for everything you do for this movement, David Hogg Co-Founder, Leaders We Deserve        ‚  ‚   BAWN is committed to replacing every cowardly and complacent lawmaker, regardless of party, that denies your right to live without fear of being shot. Legislators that support the deadly proliferation of guns, instead of common sense gun safety measures, are responsible for the carnage of gun violence -- and must be voted out. BAWN also lobbies legislators to support the assault weapon and large capacity magazine ban bills that will help put an end to the slaughter of innocent Americans. But they can’t do this alone. BAWN is relying on your support to kick every coward who refuses to protect our children and families OUT of office. Will you chip in right away?
