In an almost five-minute Senate flo= or speech that was viewed more than eight million= times in 24 hours, Senator McMorrow correctly characterized herself as =E2= =80=9Cthe biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme. Because you can= =E2=80=99t claim that you are targeting marginalized kids in the name of = =E2=80=98parental rights=E2=80=99 if another parent is standing up to say n= o=E2=80=9D. She continued to say that =E2=80=9CPeople who are differ= ent are not the reason that our roads are in bad shape after decades of dis= investment, or that healthcare costs are too high, or that teachers are lea= ving the profession. I want every child in this state to feel seen, heard, = and supported, not marginalized and targeted because they are not straight,= white, and Christian. We cannot let hateful people tell you otherwise to s= capegoat and deflect from the fact that are not doing anything to fix the r= eal issues that impact people's lives. And I know that hate will only win i= f people like me stand by and let it happen. So I want to be very clear rig= ht now: Call me whatever you want. I hope you brought in a few dollars. I h= ope it made you sleep good last night. I know who I am. I know what faith a= nd service mean, and what it calls for in this moment. We will not let hate= win".

Thankfully= , Senator McMorrow is running in a safe Democratic district this ye= ar due to Michigan=E2=80=99s new maps, which are expected to give Democrats= their best shot at re-taking the Michigan state Senat= e since it fell under GOP control in 1982. Still, we can=E2=80=99t be compl= acent and ignore these state-level races because of candidates like Randy B= ishop, a GOP member who is also running for the Michigan state Senate and w= as recorded criticizing commercials with biracial coupl= es and said he thinks that families should be all White. Elsewhere in Michi= gan, Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who is up for re-electio= n this year, was recently awarded the prestigious John F.

In 1967 the State of Florida created the Reedy Creek Impr= ovement District for Walt Disney World, which until last week, allowed Walt= Disney, the largest single-site employer in the Sunshine State, to operate= as an independent government.

Following Governor DeSantis=E2=80=99s actions on Friday,= Rick Wilson, a fifth-generation Floridian, and co-founder of The Lincoln P= roject wrote a piece in which he advises Disney to =E2=80=9Cpun= ch the bully back, twice as hard=E2=80=9D by investing heavily in Flori= da state House and Senate races to remove the GOP majorities currently held= in both chambers.

The rules of en= gagement that we thought existed within our national government were shatte= red when armed insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol Complex in January= 2021.

Representatio= n Matters: Build the House
=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09= =09=09Please join Representation Matters for a virtual event in support= of Congressional candidates Jackie Gordon (NY-01) and Emilia Sykes (OH-13)= in conversation with Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13). Jackie Gordon and = Emilia Sykes are the only Black women on the DCCC Red to Blue list. Jackie = is running for an open seat in New York's 1st Congressional district, curre= ntly held by a Republican who is running for NY Governor. She spent 29 year= s in the armed services, almost 3 decades in the New York public schools as= a guidance counselor, and served on the Babylon Town Council from 2007-202= 0. Emilia currently serves as State Representative in Ohio's 34th legislati= ve district, where she has served since 2014, including two years as the Ho= use Minority Leader. There are 31 Democratic House seats that will be vacat= ed this year, either due to members retiring or seeking other office. That,= along with the impact of redistricting, makes it critically important that= we not only retain the Democratic seats we have, but also increase our num= bers in the House. Jackie Gordon and Emilia Sykes are two candidates with g= reat potential to achieve that goal. They are both endorsed by the DCCC, EM= ILY's List and Higher Heights, and are poised to win their races and expand= the Democratic House majority. Our support at this stage in their campaign= s is critical. It is time to Build the House!

Reception in Support of Deidre DeJear for Governor of Iowa
= =0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09Representation Matters is thr= illed to introduce the Bay Area community to an exciting candidate for Gove= rnor of Iowa -- Deidre DeJear, a 35 year old Black woman who is a rising st= ar. Please join Representation Matters, Fund Her and co-hosts Aimee Allison= , Valerie McGinty, John Ramsbacher & Robert Berry, and Gretchen Sisson = for an in-person reception to meet and get to know Deidre. Increasing the n= umber of Democratic governors is critical to sustaining our democracy, part= icularly with voting rights and reproductive rights at stake. Increasing th= e representation of Black women in elected office is also critical. This co= untry has never elected a Black woman governor. We are hopeful that Stacey = Abrams will change that -- but one is not enough. Deidre DeJear! is already= the presumptive Democratic nominee, ready to run against pro-life Republic= an Governor Kim Nelson. If you think a Democrat winning the governorship in= Iowa is a long shot, come hear directly from Deidre about her path to vict= ory and why she can win. Deidre has been endorsed by EMILY's List and Highe= r Heights. She is one of those candidates who can surprise us all, and undo= ubtedly has a long political future ahead. Join us in welcoming Deidre to t= he Bay Area and become an early supporter of this remarkable young, Black w= oman candidate. **This event with be held in-person outdoors, and proof of = vaccination is required for all attendees.

Senator Mitch McConne= ll and his top lieutenant, Florida Senator Rick Scott have decided that the= y want to RAISE taxes on half the country. See, they believe that everyone = needs to have =E2=80=9Cskin in the game.=E2=80=9D That=E2=80=99s code for = =E2=80=9Cpaying their fair share.=E2=80=9D Ironically, they didn=E2=80=99t = feel that way in 2018 when they passed the largest billionaire tax cut in h= istory.

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

If this worki= ng-class tax hike wasn=E2=80=99t enough, the Republican plan also calls for= =E2=80=9Csun setting=E2=80=9D all Federal laws every five years. That=E2= =80=99s code for one thing: Messing with Social Security and Medicare. They= tried this under Paul Ryan when he was Speaker of the House. Now they=E2= =80=99ve brought it back. Let me ask you =E2=80=93 if Social Security expir= ed, do you believe Republicans would ever let it come back=3F You already k= now the answer.

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

3. Tell Congress: Invest In Climate Action Now

=0D=0A=0D= =0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

We have the chance to see the lar= gest climate investment in history come to fruition =E2=80=94 but only if C= ongress takes urgent action. In just the past year, we=E2=80=99ve seen clim= ate catastrophes continue across the country, from devastating tornadoes to= extreme heat and cold to wildfires that are changing our communities forev= er. It=E2=80=99s clear to all of us that we can=E2=80=99t wait any longer. = The time for Congress to prioritize climate action is now. Just last year, = Congress came only a few votes short of passing a $555 billion climate inve= stment within the Build Back Better Act that would protect our environment = and communities. This year, we=E2=80=99re working to make sure Congress fin= ally passes this investment, which would:

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09= =09=09=09=09=09=09

Establish a new Civilian Climate Corps to create over = 300,000 jobs that will train and hire Americans to restore public lands, pr= otect biodiversity, and improve climate resilience for communities;

=0D= =0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

Prioritize clean energy tec= hnology (wind turbines, solar panels, and more) that=E2=80=99s built here i= n the United States;

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

= Invest in climate-resilient affordable housing and community infrastructure= ;
=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09Advance environmental justic= e within frontline communities through a new Clean Energy and Sustainabilit= y Accelerator.

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09

The cl= imate crisis impacts us all =E2=80=94 especially younger generations, women= , and communities of color. By writing to congress, you=E2=80=99re telling = your representatives to ensure not just a healthy, thriving climate, but a = safe and prosperous future for generations to come.

=0D=0A=0D=0A=09=09= =09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09
