Ready to do the work? This week’s word is 47. We’re turning it into a challenge. If you can make 47 calls or knock 47 doors—the two most effective ways of turning out the vote—then you’ll officially be a member of Club 47. That’s the ambitious goal. For each of us to reach 47 voters.

Just a reminder, please sign onto our letter!

#Authors, if you have yet to sign this letter of support for the Harris campaign, please take a moment to do so. As the letter states: "We're not going back to laws that silence creative expression and policies that hurt people for being who they are. We will defend the freedom to read." #KidLit

A decade later, her daughter got in touch with my Mom. Mrs Perry had died, and she found my letter in her desk drawer - worn along the folds, because she had re-read it so many times. #MrWalz

I was the weird, nerdy (undiagnosed neurodivergent) kid w/o friends. In 5th grade, Mrs Perry was my CHAMPION. She cheered for me, challenged me, told me she was going to keep all my work so she could "sell it when you're famous and I'll retire." When I graduated college, I wrote her to thank her.

This.

In high school, I had a tough home life. My AP English teacher knew w/out me even saying it. He encouraged me, let me eat lunch in his classroom when I needed it, and always showed up to cheer for me. I'm thrilled to see someone w/ an equally big heart in Tim Walz. #MyMrWalz

In 5th grade I took classes in Lucia Drake's 6th grade class, and I was in her 6th grade until moving all the way up to 7th. Leaving her class was very, very hard. Miss Drake asked for and expected my best, but also saw and encouraged me in ways no other teacher has. I'll never forget her. #MyMrWalz

Okay - we've 100% cried over some of the amazing stories shared about Gov. Walz's impact as a teacher this AM. He's about to take the stage soon in Philly, and we want to hear from you: which teachers have made a similar impact in your lives? Who is your #MrWalz? Share in honor of the governor! ❤️

Kamala has announced her VP pick this morning, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota! We're very excited to talk about the Harris/Walz ticket on August 11th. But before then, check out our website for some additional content beginning later today!
