I have to believe that your efforts to rouse us, cheer us on, and keep us on track helped with Judge P’s win—so take a bow, Jessica.

I like to think of it as a beautiful collective effort that I was a boisterous cheerleader for. Thank you!

Grassroots politics is so one step forward, two steps back—or if very lucky, 1/2 step back…. thanks for keeping our spirits lifted, Jessica. Got to keep in mind that this is a very long game, right.

Thanks for the good idea and the links! Just donated to ForwardTN and will share your newsletter with my friend who had just mentioned wanting to support the young activists in Tennessee.

Jess, a question about the donation links for TN. Is the ActBlue link for the dems in

TN?

No. Civic TN is a grassroots group in Tennessee. But the Tennessee Dems are another good place to give. I got the two links in the newsletter today through my progressive mobilization listserv. I will likely list Tennessee Dems tomorrow.
