We have one job for you today: buy a shirt to elect more @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's. We are re-releasing our limited edition Zohran shirts with a goal of raising $5k by 12/31! secure.actblue.com/donate/clima...

I know $200 is a big ask & ofc give what you're comfortable BUT think about how these fundraisers usually go. Pols running for mayor of large cities need to go to a room of millionaires & ask for 10's of thousands. This allows regular people to be major contributors. Let's use it

The TOP way you can support is by donating so we can ensure Janeese is THE strongest contender in the June primary! You can ONLY give up to $200 - each dollar from a DC resident is matched 5x by the city (so you are giving $1200 if you give $200):

Her Ward 4 race was 1 of the first DC elections I worked on, & it’s been a real joy to see her get to the place where she could be Mayor. And she's the real deal: grew up in DC, was elected through grassroots groups, & has been an often lone prog voice on Council for those values

DC - Janeese is running! Let's win this! Plz plz plz donate today!

Hard to describe how excited I am for this. DC *needs* a Mayor that actually has a vision for tackling its biggest problems like funding affordable housing, healthcare, childcare & stepping up to the Trump admin

Honored to join @afroamcivilwar.org.web.brid.gy this #VeteransDay morning to read the names of Black soldiers who fought for liberation.

We honor all veterans and their legacy as we continue to organize for a country where housing, healthcare, and safety are rights – not privileges.

You can generally tell whether a campaign is serious on Day 1 (if not earlier) and friends, this is a *serious* campaign.

Zohran Mamdani Made Addressing Climate Change Central to His Affordability Plan for New York - Inside Climate News The official winner of the city’s Democratic mayoral primary has a record of fighting polluting natural gas infrastructure and supports Local Law 97 to cut carbon emissions from city buildings.

This is why supporting local elections matters. Local races like Ravi's can be decided by a few hundred votes and they can get climate champions in positions to #MakePollutersPay!
