A lot of politicians talk a big game.
They talk about sacrifice. They talk about their values. They make never ending campaign promises.
But there’s a big difference between politicians who will tweet into the ether and call it leadership — and the ones who actually believe in something, and are willing to stand ten toes down for their convictions, even at great personal risk.
Demi Palecek is the latter.
She stood in the Capitol last week, alongside 65 other veterans and military families, honoring the Iranian and American lives that have been lost to this senseless war. And she was arrested for it.
That’s the state of the country we’re living in right now. Veterans are being zip tied in our nation’s capital for peacefully protesting an unauthorized war.
And the only real answer — the one that gives me hope — is electing leaders who refuse to be intimidated by any of it.
That’s what Leaders We Deserve exists to do. To end the revolving door of Democrats who play it safe and hope for the best, and to back bold progressives who actually have skin in the game. The ones who show up, even when it costs them something.
But leaders like Demi don’t win on conviction alone. They need real resources to fight back against opponents with unlimited corporate cash behind them. That’s where you come in.
With your support, Leaders We Deserve was able to back Demi and she won, despite having over $1 million in corporate money spent against her. She ran a campaign that didn’t just say she would fight back against Trump once elected, she did so while campaigning.
When ICE showed up to terrorize her community, she mobilized her campaign volunteers to drive the children of immigrants in her district to school so they could still learn without fear of their parents being targeted by ICE. She even helped feed her neighbors when they were terrified of being profiled by ICE at the grocery store.
That’s exactly the type of Democrat we need more of. Someone who fights back with more than a strongly worded letter. And electing people like Demi is exactly why Leaders We Deserve exists.
Your support today is critical — we have a lot of elections still on the horizon, and more endorsements coming your way.
Thank you,
David Hogg
