Chop Wood, Carry Michigan 9/3
Hi, Michigan Peeps!
Blue Tent, an excellent organization devoted solely to helping progressives make smart donations to win elections, just published a brief on Michigan. They say (and I agree):
Michigan is another state where donors should dig a little deeper to have more impact. Giving to reelect Gov. Gretchen Whitmer canโt hurt โ confession: Iโve even done it myself โ but rest assured that sheโs on track to raise all the money she needs without your help. In our brief on Michigan, we spotlight a half-dozen or so progressive groups that are working year-round to reverse the stateโs dangerous drifting toward an authoritarian Republican future. These groups are playing a critical role in this yearโs election โ and will still be in the trenches after November, no matter what the outcome.
Michigan is also a state where it makes sense to contribute directly to candidates and we recommend three of them: AG Dana Nessel, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and state legislator Padma Kuppa. We also recommend giving to help pass ballot measures to protect democracy and abortion rights: Promote the Vote and Reproductive Freedom for All.ย
Read the rest of the brief here. And give if you can!
Thanks!
More soon,
Jess
