Run for Something PAC

Celebrate Black history all year by supporting Black candidates running for state and local office.

For the remainder of 2022, we are encouraging you to support RFS’ Black candidates by donating directly to their campaigns. 

 

Run for Something has always been committed to supporting candidates from underrepresented communities running for state and local office. However, we know that POC face additional hurdles when running for office: one of those big obstacles is fundraising. 

 

If we want to see change, we have to empower and support those that can create a lasting impact on their communities and build a legacy that will open the door for millions of other Black candidates to run and win.

 

Your donation will be split evenly between the inspiring candidates we're working with in 2022. Every dollar makes a big difference.
