I am humbly asking for your support

We need more leaders in Congress who can organize, bring people together, and have a record of winning real progressive change. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hi {NAME}, we wanted to share this message from Aaron Regunberg in Rhode Island. He’s the very first candidate we’ve endorsed for the 2024 cycle, and making sure he wins is critical to taking back our majority in the House. Thanks - Team Progressive Caucus --------------------------------------------------------------- Dear {NAME}, My name is Aaron Regunberg, and I’m running for Congress in Rhode Island’s First Congressional District. As a state lawmaker, community organizer, and climate lawyer, I’ve brought people together to win real results for Rhode Islanders — like higher wages for workers, paid sick days for families, and new clean energy programs for our communities. I’m also the dad of a two-year-old. Being a father is amazing, but like many parents, I worry about the future. Will our kids be safe at school from guns and mass shootings? Will they breathe clean air? Will they be able to afford housing, healthcare, and college? These dangers don’t just make me scared. They make me furious – because I know that powerful corporate interests are creating and feeding these crises. But these special interests aren't unbeatable. Together, our communities can take on these forces — the gun industry, fossil fuel companies, and their Republican allies — and win. [{NAME} — the only way we’re going to have the resources to take on those special interests is if lots of people like you get involved. If you can afford it, I’m humbly asking you to split a contribution between my campaign and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC.]( [DONATE]( I’m very proud that our campaign has been endorsed by national and local leaders who trust me to do this critical work – and who know we are building the strongest campaign in this field, including Senator Bernie Sanders and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC. Standing up for families is personal for me. My mother, Erica, was a single mom. My dad died in a plane crash when she was five months pregnant with me and my sister was two years old. Now that I’m a parent, I can’t imagine the strength it took for her to raise us on her own. Luckily, we had support — like my grandparents, who moved in to help us in those tough early days. Grandpa Ralph was born in Germany in 1930 and became a refugee from the Holocaust. He came to America in 1948 searching for safety and opportunity, and taught me that our freedom can’t be taken for granted. My Grandma Bunny was the Executive Director of her local Planned Parenthood in the years before Roe v. Wade. Her work empowering families to make choices for themselves helped inspire me to become a community organizer. Grandma Bunny would be crushed to know that today we’re still fighting for the abortion rights that she and millions of women like her spent their lives fighting for. But that, unfortunately, is where we are. Our families are struggling with skyrocketing housing and healthcare costs. But extremist Republicans in Congress are laser focused on cutting critical programs for our seniors like Social Security and Medicare, attacking our immigrant and trans neighbors, and destroying the rights and freedoms we value most. For many years I’ve been working to tackle problems like these. I’ve stood up for ambitious solutions like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal. I’ve won concrete policy changes like paid sick days, higher wages, and new clean energy programs. From that work, I’ve learned that we can't solve the problems we face – lack of housing, gun violence, abortion access, attacks on workers’ rights, and more – by simply electing one more Democratic vote. We need more leaders in Congress who can organize, bring people together, and have a record of winning real progressive change. That’s the work I’ve been doing in Rhode Island for years. And that’s the work I’d do in Congress, with your support. [So please, use this link to split a contribution — of ANY amount you can afford — between my campaign the Congressional Progressive Caucus. We can’t do this without you, {NAME}.]( We’ve got a lot of work ahead to win a future that works for everyone. I’m excited and honored to fight alongside you.
