Hi, all, and happy Wednesday! I know I’m supposed to be on vacation this week, but I was up late last night, so...this just sort of happened. Y’all, I’m jubilant. Jubilant over Janet Protasiewicz’s TEN POINT victory, jubilant over our win in Chicago, jubilant over the fact that while Republicans are mired in a toxic sludge of hubris, criminality and self-defeatism we are winning elections by wide margins and defeating dark money with people power! It’s just so great.
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.
Thank you Jess ! For the first time in my life, with your timely information and helpful scripts, I have spoken my political opinions. So much gratitude for what you are doing!
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.
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.
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!

Awesome thank you!
Jess, a question about the donation links for TN. Is the ActBlue link for the dems in
TN?
