Dear Friends and Family,

 

When our communities are under attack, I don’t just sit back and wait for things to change. I look for opportunities to be part of the change like joining Oakland Rising's Lead East Bay program (read more here). This 2018 election year we have the opportunity to strengthen the ability of the Bay Area and California to protect underrepresented folks, including the working-class, immigrants, and people of color.


Please join me in throwing support behind Oakland Rising Action, a Political Action Committee (PAC). Will you contribute toward my $500 goal and help fund Oakland’s biggest voter outreach operation?


Oakland Rising Action has a model of building community power that works and results in wins. Since 2010, they have built a base of over 62,000 supportive voters that’s over 25% of all Oakland voters! Their 1-on-1 conversations with voters get the goods. In fact, their political organizing work increases voter turnout by 10%! This is SIGNIFICANT because many races are decided by just a few hundred votes. Using this model, they were able to help pass expanded renter protections for Oaklanders in 2016 (Measure JJ).

 

Will you help kick start their 2018 election work by making a donation now?

As an organization representing Oakland residents who believe in racial, economic, and environmental justice, Oakland Rising Action operates from the same values as us — inclusion, fairness, transformation, love, and liberation.

 

Please consider:


  • $500 for the 500+ Oakland voters we'll speak to each day leading up to the June & November elections
  • $250 towards recruiting 250 volunteers in 2018
  • $100 for the hundreds of signatures we're collecting to qualify crucial issues like the Schools Funding Act (schoolfundingnow.com)
  • $50 which is about dollar a week for the year
  • $25 for each of the 25+ precincts in which we'll knock on doors
  • $10 because you believe in our work!
  • $5 because you got five on María!

Con mucha gratitud,


María D. Domínguez

Lead East Bay Leader
