Special opportunity: Join our Electoral Volunteer Corps.

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts
Dear Searchingforreason.N,
For nearly two years, we have weathered the Trump-Pence administration’s political attacks on our health and rights. But these same attacks have also spurred a groundswell of opposition from people who are fighting for a world where everyone has the freedom and opportunity to control their own lives. For the first time since Trump took office, we have an opportunity to reject his dangerous agenda up and down the ballot.
Here in Massachusetts, we have endorsed a slate of candidates for the Massachusetts State House who will prioritize access to sexual and reproductive health care and defend the health, rights, and freedoms of all Massachusetts residents. By electing and reelecting these leaders, we will be able to advance a bold legislative agenda in our state and protect ourselves from the Trump-Pence administration. But these races are close, and we need your help to win.
The Electoral Volunteer Corps is a leadership and training program for Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund supporters and volunteers. To join, you must be able to devote four hours per week for canvassing, phone banking, training, and other opportunities where you will represent our movement in some of 2018's most competitive local races. The program will kick off officially on Sunday, September 9th.
2018 is our moment. After months of marching, it’s time we take up our clipboards and knock some doors. Join me in the fight for a healthier, more equitable future.  
Thank you,
Kim Kargman
Organizing Manager
Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts

Education Update. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE. MOLLY KELLY.

David,
Did you see the news?
Today, the New Hampshire affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers formally endorsed this campaign because of my deeply rooted commitment to public education and New Hampshire’s children. Every child in our state deserves a quality education.
But Chris Sununu’s school voucher plan would siphon money from public schools and funnel our tax dollars into private, religious schools.
We need your help. If reelected, Chris Sununu says his top priority will be school vouchers, which would weaken public schools and raise your property taxes. That’s wrong.
We know vouchers are Chris Sununu’s top priority, because he stood with Betsy DeVos, instead of New Hampshire teachers, parents and families.
I’m proud of my record for standing up for public education for 10 years as a state senator – and, as your governor, I won’t stop. Join me in supporting our public schools and teachers. 
Thank you,
Molly

Protect our Elections. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE MAURA SULLIVAN.

This is an alarming moment for our country and our democracy. The intelligence community agrees: Russia is interfering in our elections. But Donald Trump and the GOP refuse to take the necessary steps to protect our democracy from foreign interference. Instead they delay on votes, remove sanctions, and pretend there isn’t a problem. This is a fundamental threat to our democracy.

Congress needs to put aside partisan politics and protect America from foreign interference in our elections.


The White House has no plan to protect our country & our elections. We cannot wait around and hope they develop one - we need to call for action today.


It is up to us to demand that our government takes action.
Thank you,
Team Maura

We Have Momentum, But It Can't Stop Now. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEVE SEVIGNY, MD.

Dear David,
Since last week’s candidate debate, our campaign has been soaring. The debate made the question in this election perfectly clear: who has a better chance of turning this district blue? A Washington careerist from outside the district, or someone with clear values who’s lived here for decades, raised a family and helped thousands of residents?
I've said from the beginning that for us to win in November, we need new ideas and new leaders, not the same old thing.
One of the candidates in our primary has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and bankers in DC, New York and California, but only 5% of her donations are from here in our district. That’s the same old way of politics that can’t win this year.
Thank you for your continued support!
 Steve
