Chris Kluwe

THIS is what civic leadership looks like.

We have Chris Kluwe's back! He's not wrong, and he is on the right side of history!

"MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing," Kluwe said.

"MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably antidemocracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement," he continued. "You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is."

Matt Meyer

Matt Meyer

76th Governor of Delaware, our first state, which, in theory, should be leading the way in progress, given its legacy of Thomas Garrett and John Hunn, including with Harriet Tubman. Governor Meyer is the obvious choice to lead Delaware in the future, for the future of its citizens and our nation, as he is part of the solution, not the problem.

…a former public school math teacher and small business owner who has served as New Castle County Executive since 2017.

From Wilmington to Kenya and Iraq: Growing up in Delaware, Governor Meyer attended schools in the Brandywine School District, followed by Wilmington Friends School, and then studied Computer Science & Political Science at Brown University. He then moved to Nairobi, Kenya, where he learned Swahili and created Ecosandals, a recycled footwear company that sold environmentally friendly footwear to customers in 17 countries on five continents. Governor Meyer subsequently spent 12 months in Mosul, Iraq, as a diplomat embedded with the United States Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.

Tony Vargas for Nebraska

Tony Vargas for Nebraska

Former teacher and Nebraska Public Schools Board member, Nebraska Legislator (Senator).

Why we are adding Tony:

He has successfully passed legislation to strengthen our public schools, improve access to health care, encourage technology and innovation, and improve consumer protections.

Tony began his career as a public-school teacher, receiving "Most Outstanding Teacher" and "Teacher of the Year" awards, and has worked in the non-profit and education sectors, striving to improve the quality of life and educational opportunities for thousands of children across the United States.

Tony learned the values of community, hard work, and perseverance from his parents, who, coming from humble beginnings, sacrificed everything to provide their children with an opportunity for a brighter future. No matter how busy the family was, they had dinner together every night, where his parents encouraged Tony to "stay grounded, but reach for the stars."

<p>Mondaire Jones for NY17

Mondaire Jones for NY17

A strong progressive, endorsed by NRDC, Gabby Giffords, unions and public employees. Jones literally pulled himself out of poverty, while being raised on Section 8 and with a mother struggling with mental health issues. Jones more than understands the struggles of working families, unlike Mike Lawler, who had all handed to him for simply showing up as an entitled white Jim Crow benefactor-male, while standing against working families and public safety.

Mike Lawler also bailed out #J6 insurrectionists and supports these violent thugs, while having the audacity to complain about crime. Lawler is also funding crime — the iron pipeline guns, that leads to more guns on the streets, while Mondaire Jones is for sensible gun control.

And view this article from politico.com, which contains more campaign info from Mondaire Jones.

Voters of Tomorrow

Voters of Tomorrow

Voters of Tomorrow helped BLOCK the red wave in 2022. VOT turned out RECORD numbers of young and first time voters in key states! VOT is made up of high school and college students. They do not have mega donors, and only rely on grassroots donors! Adults didn't fully believe that a Gen Z-run organization could be effective at mobilizing voters. But it turns out, no one is better at mobilizing Gen Z voters, than Gen Zers themselves! Leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, Voters of Tomorrow hosted a first-of-its-kind youth political summit at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA to discuss policy priorities and youth engagement strategies. Flash forward to today, and VOT's impact has been huge. They are active on over 200 college campuses, got Gen Zers to vote in droves in the 2022 midterms, and helped block an anti-choice wave from sweeping Virginia this past November.

Social Security Works PAC

Social Security Works PAC

Fighting to protect and expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; lower drug prices; ensure economic justice for all; and guarantee health care as a human right — because everyone deserves to live in dignity.

Social Security Works advocates on behalf of the 67 million Americans who rely on their earned Social Security benefits, and the millions more Americans who will rely on these earned benefits in the future. While some politicians have released plans to cut, privatize, and destroy Social Security, Social Security Works is fighting back.

Social Security is a promise between generations that brings people of all backgrounds together. Not surprisingly, Social Security is wildly popular among Americans of all political persuasions.

CREDO

Meanwhile, GOP has been raiding paid-into Social Security, to fund revenue-losing #TaxCutsAndJobsAct, because revenue is needed for US Constitution Article 1:Section 8.

MacKenzie Scott

Taking Jeff Bozos, oops, Bezos' money, and doing what he should have done with it, especially after revenue-losing #TaxCutsAndJobsAct increased Bezos' wealth, dramatically.

How much money do billionaires need? How many lifetimes do they believe they will live, while flying over human suffering, poverty, war zones, and broken infrastructure, all while raking in more profits from #TaxCutsAndJobsAct? Who are greedy, Insurrectionist Elect-billionaires trying to impress? Certainly not workers getting up, every single day to serve them, while workers barely have food on their own table or a home of their own, as Bezos flies from one luxury home to another. And Insurrectionist Elect-billionaires are certainly not impressing the impoverished areas their private jets fly over and around, while calling themselves, "world leaders," or worse, "Christians."

MacKenzie Scott sleeps more peaceful, making the lives of others better, lives that are more valuable than hoarding billions, jets, multiple homes, and other needless material things.

MacKenzie Scott's legacy will be cemented in history on the positive side, while Bezos' legacy will be forever linked to the Insurrectionist Elect and failure to support a black woman as a leader.

MacKenzie Scott is shaking up philanthropy's traditions. Is that a good thing?

On December 14, 2022 billionaire philanthropist and novelist MacKenzie Scott announced that her donations since 2019 have totaled more than $14 billion and helped fund around 1,600 nonprofits. But as much as the scale, it is the style of giving that is causing a stir; it's targeted at a wide spectrum of causes, without a formal application process and - it appears - no strings attatched.

It doesn't appear that Scott has been deterred by critics, and in November 2022, she outlined that her giving was targeted toward "supporting the voices and opportunities of people from underserved communities." In 2020, she announced that she had already contributed more than $586 million to causes supporting racial equality. Most of the initial grants have been to U.S.-focused initiatives, but some are international in scope like a $15 million gift to VisionSpring, a social enterprise that provides low-cost eyeglasses to workers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The antithesis of Space Karen-apartheid child, Elon Musk.

Father. Leader. Equality job creator. Mr. Whitesides was just elected to the US House of Representatives (CA27-2024), and will counter the lack of decency, morality, empathy and integrity in today's Sons of confederate Vets-Strom Thurmond-GOP.

George Whitesides defines ethics, empathy, decency, wisdom, and integrity. A former member of President Obama's 2008 transition team, former Chief of Staff at NASA. former and first CEO of Virgin Galactic, former National Space Society Executive Director, and co-founder of Yuri's Night — building a diverse and inclusive space. Married to an equally amazing partner, Lori Hildago Whitesides, his Yuri's Night co-founder.

Whitesides was described by Equality California as a "regional influencers" in 2020 and 2021 for his donations of undisclosed amounts and touted their endorsement in his 2024 congressional campaign. Equality California campaigned aggressively to eliminate cash bail for many types of crimes, legalize prostitution, shorten probation periods for misdemeanors and some felonies, and end qualified immunity for police.

Yuri's Night

What technology and space exploration should do: bring together, inclusively, while breaking barriers.

How does one fly over our planet, with hate in their heart, and/or while ignoring what is inside of our planet: irreplaceable people surrounded by racism, poverty, lack of representation, and innovation potential through a diverse group of persons?

We will never know where the next great life or environment-saving invention will originate from or through. What we do know, innovation is stalled with racism, discrimination/apartheid and government-sanctioned bigotry. GOP's revenue-losing #TaxCutsAndJobsAct also stalls progress and change, as revenue is required for infrastructure, innovation, education, public safety and more.

Launching parties around the world every year on or around April 12th, in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space on April 12, 1961, and the inaugural launch of the first Space Shuttle on April 12, 1981.
