082425 - Our statehouses don’t look like us — yet
ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. We’re doing the work — and it’s working. <https://act.leaderswedeserve.com/go/852?refcode=em20250824-1&t=1&akid=2568%2E4585878%2EGgEBAI> A new study just came out on who holds power in our state legislatures. And I’ll be honest — it didn’t surprise me. Most state lawmakers are over 50, white, male, married without kids at home, and financially secure outside their legislative salary. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself — but it is a problem when that’s overwhelmingly who’s making our laws. Because that’s not what this country looks like. It’s why we launched Leaders We Deserve — to elect young people, women, Black and Brown leaders, LGBTQ+ folks, and working people from all walks of life. People who actually look like and live like the communities they represent. We’re doing the work — and it’s working. But we’re up against political machines, billionaire donors, and a system that was never built for us to win. So we’ve got to fight harder, organize smarter, and yeah — raise the money to go toe-to-toe with the status quo. Will you pitch in $5 right now to help us elect the next generation of leaders? <https://secure.actblue.com/donate/em_ms_lwd_20250824_1_average?refcode=em20250824-2568&amount=5&refcode2=2568_4585878_ GgEBAI&akid=2568%2E4585878%2EGgEBAI> Donate $5 » <https://secure.actblue.com/donate/em_ms_lwd_20250824_1_average?amount=5&refcode=em20250824-2568&refcode2=2568_4585878_GgEBAI&akid=2568%2E4585878%2EGgEBAI> Representation is more than a buzzword. It’s the foundation of real democracy. If you’ve ever wondered why our legislatures are so out of touch — this is it. And it won’t change unless we do the work to change it. Thank you for being in this with us.
