Kara won. Who’s next?

We’re so happy to share this news with you.

Our Courage to Change-endorsed candidate in Nebraska’s 2nd won her primary! Kara Eastman is on her way to take on Trump-Republican Don Bacon, after nearly defeating him in 2018.

That’s a critical step forward. Passing Medicare for All and a Green New Deal can only happen if we elect a new class of progressive leaders to Congress in 2020. Our work isn’t over.

That’s why we’re asking for your help. Teresa Leger Fernandez and Samelys Lopez both have upcoming extremely competitive primaries. Will you split a donation to help them win?

Both of these candidates are up against moderate opponents in their democratic primaries who don’t follow the same rules. For those opponents, corporate donations are totally fine. But not for us.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-03) is running on a platform of Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and humane immigration reform. After dedicating her career to fighting for communities in New Mexico, she’s joining the movement to build an economy that works for all.


• Samelys López (NY-15) was a community organizer for years before being called to the fight. In the poorest district in the nation, she’s fighting for economic justice and a homes guarantee for all.

These are leaders that we need in Congress. But they’re up against powerful, entrenched interests who support their opponents. Can you join the fight by splitting a $15 donation? Anything you can spare will help.

Onward,

Team AOC

Our first Courage to Change endorsements

Change takes courage. Our democracy is dominated by special interests, out-of-touch incumbents, and wealthy donors.

Standing up against that system has risks. Congress is not designed to incentivize rocking the boat — it’s been set up to protect those who go with the flow.

But if we’re going to build an economy that works for all, a democracy that includes everyone, and a society that centers working-class families, things must change.

And that starts by electing new progressive leaders who exemplify political courage, who refuse to bow to corporate interests, and who will fight for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice for all.

That’s why we’re officially endorsing: Kara Eastman (NE-02), Georgette Gomez (CA-53), Marie Newman (IL-03), Jessica Cisneros (TX-28), Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez (TX-Senate), Teresa Fernandez (NM-03), Samelys Lopez (NY-15).

Each of these progressive champions is challenging an entrenched political system that is out of touch with voters. Will you split a donation to bolster each of their incredible campaigns?

Reward Courage »

Whether our Courage to Change Champions are up against Trump-loyalist Republicans or out-of-touch corporate Democrats, they can expect to be heavily outspent.

All of our endorsed candidates refuse corporate PAC donations and center their movements on an inclusive message that puts working-families first — not wealthy donors.

That’s why your support is critical. Every dollar you donate will go towards powerful organizing, voter registration, community contact, and programs that help build movements, not buy support.

Today, we’re asking you to reward courage. Can you split a donation to each of these powerful candidates and help us send the message that progressives are taking our democracy back?

Reward Courage »

From the very beginning, this has been a small-dollar movement. Folks from every background built this campaign, and now, we’re going bigger and bolder than ever. Thanks so much for your support.

Sincerely,

Courage to Change

P.S. Stay tuned. This is JUST the beginning...
