electing down ballot climate leaders at lead locally. organizing for social housing w at mdc dsa. usually in pink 🌸
Here's the precinct map of D.C., and you can see that @janeese4dc.bsky.social has so far cleaned up in almost all central parts of D.C., which includes Ward 1 and Ward 6, much of wards 4 and 5, and most of east of the river. This is an impressive showing by any measure.
yellow map: areas where McDuffie did better. blue map: wealthy R-1-A and R-1-B zones that have only allowed detached housing for ~100 years
Our campaign director @johnqua.bsky.social will join @lcv.org for a panel on how to get PAC endorsements, for anyone who is thinking of running for office! Happening next week w/ colleagues from @climatecabinet.org @runforsomething.net: lcv.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
.@aparnafordc.bsky.social has raised enough to max out all public matching funds! The fastest ward level candidate to do so in DC history! Can personally attest this was a massive amount of work. Let's go win this now 🔥
Aparna Raj@aparnafordc.bsky.social · 4mo agoMajor fundraising announcement- we have raised enough from DC donors to receive ALL available matching funds for a ward-level campaign! 💥🎉 We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed and excited to power through the finish line in June!
HUGE win for climate and utility affordability down ballot in AZ! Against Turning Point of all things! So grateful for partners & candidates we got to work with here who led for years towards this majority:
Lead Locally@leadlocally.bsky.social · 4mo agoWE DID IT!!! Voters elected a clean energy majority on the SRP board and rejected Turning Point's toxic agenda! Congrats to @kenclarkforaz.bsky.social and all the candidates!
This is why I’m running. For workers. For parents. For renters. For immigrants. For all of us. Join us: secure.actblue.com/donate/aparn...
.@mdcdsa.org made me the organizer I am today.🌹✊🏾 During Trump's first term, DSA gave me hope that a better world was still possible. That hope guides my campaign for a Ward 1 with rent caps, free childcare, union jobs, and everything we need for a life of dignity and joy.
MDC DSA is excited to announce that we have endorsed the former Chair of our chapter, Aparna Raj, for Ward 1 DC Council! Follow them @aparnafordc.bsky.social to keep up with the campaign and watch for upcoming canvasses and events!
Fun Fact - the Georgia seat that flipped last night is the majority maker seat in the state house. If everything more Dem than this seat were to flip, the chamber would flip.
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...
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
Janeese4DC@janeese4dc.bsky.social · 8mo agoThe DC I know is worth fighting for. I’m Janeese Lewis George, and I’m running for Mayor. youtu.be/aOBD45c3wVM
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.

We're busy on the ground canvassing in key flippable districts in Virginia including for @johnmcauliff.bsky.social in HD-30!

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 10mo agoToday on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!

Big climate win in Michigan! Grand Rapids — Michigan’s 2nd-largest city — just passed its first Climate Action & Adaptation Plan. Huge thanks to our endorsed climate champs AliciaMarie Belchak, Marshall Kilgore & David LaGrand for making it happen!
Whoa!! 👀 You can generally tell whether a campaign is serious on Day 1 (if not earlier) and friends, this is a *serious* campaign.
Aparna Raj@aparnafordc.bsky.social · 12mo ago🥁🥁🥁... WOW!!! I'm still in awe from yesterday. Thank you to every one of the 💜844🩷 of you who donated yesterday to show you believe in this campaign. We smashed our fundraising goals and we'll bring this energy as we fight to lower costs and defend DC against Trump. 💥
Y'allllllll 👏574 donors in 24 hours. This is BEFORE the public matching funds. Let's win this - let's elect @aparnafordc.bsky.social 🩷

I am SO excited that @aparnafordc.bsky.social is running for DC Council! I've organized with her & she's the real deal - and fighting for what actually matters. I just donated and, if you're a DC resident, your donation will be matched x5 w the public match! Join me? Let's win this!
Aparna Raj@aparnafordc.bsky.social · 12mo agoPeople are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District. It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here. That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1. Join us: aparnafordc.com/donate
“We’ve got to remember, if our work isn’t to make people’s lives more livable, we’ve lost our way.” @johnqua.bsky.social in @insideclimatenews.org, reflecting on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win. insideclimatenews.org/news/0307202...
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!
@ravibhalla.bsky.social · last yr.Under my leadership, Hoboken was the first city in New Jersey sue Big Oil to make these large fossil fuel corporations accountable for the climate crisis they created. The same urgency applies to the N.J. Climate Superfund Act. Let's get it passed.
BIG NEWS! Climate champions @katiebrennan.bsky.social and @ravibhalla.bsky.social won their primaries against one of the most entrenched political machines in the state. ⬇️
