While in Tennessee, we linked up with our friends at @memphisforall and discussed redistricting and how Dems can still win in the Fall.  Now more than ever, doorknocking is needed to let voters know about changes to their voting districts and about candidates that will fight for them in Washington 🏦

Due to the redistricting in TN, Justin J. Pearson has decided to stay and fight with his community in Memphis. The Seattle Meet-N-Greet has been postponed for now. Pearson is still running, we will still doorknock for him on the ground, and we will welcome him to Seattle when the timing is right.

Next Monday, we’ll be hosting @justinjpearson.bsky.social in Seattle! As a Rep in Tennessee’s House of Representatives, Justin has combined his activism with his political platform to engage his constituents and inspire organizations like ours across the nation. 📅Monday 5/11 at 2pm PT

If you’re not here for the free coffee or the live music, then at least stop by to meet State Senate LD-43 candidate @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social! ⭐️ Sunday May 3rd at 1020 1st Ave, Seattle at 1pm RSVP in our bio 🫵

Thank you to everyone who came by our pop-up to meet @katmabu.bsky.social  and get a preview to what we’re building. What started as a short notice event, turned into an open conversation on how progressive campaigns can grow into something more, and everyone got a seat at the table 🪑

Let’s talk about a new way campaigns can invest in communities – not just in one election. Ya’ll will hear from us and @katmabu.bsky.social very soon 🌟 @kapowworks.bsky.social 🌟
