I’m proof that each of us has the power to make a great difference – if we work together.  

I began as an organizer for CPD affiliate the Delaware Alliance for Community Advancement (DelACA), where I learned to bring people together on the issues they care about most. I decided to run for higher office with the hopes of tangibly impacting DelACA members on issues of criminal justice reform, voting rights, healthcare, and the opioid crisis – all truly national issues that disproportionately affect communities of color like mine.

I won 35% of the statewide vote in my very first run for US Senate against an incumbent who has been in office for 42 years. My message of progressive transformation in Delaware resonated with tens of thousands of people waiting to animate our democracy through action. Now, as a member of DelACA, we are working to galvanize this excitement into a broad progressive base of activists to build real and lasting power in Delaware with the CPD Network.

I started alone. But I quickly learned that when communities act together, they build power. And when people in grassroots organizations from all across our country raise their voices in unison, they exert that power to win change. And that is why the CPD Network exists – to build power that cannot be ignored, power that is winning change with a real impact on people’s lives.

And we need your continued support more than ever. Please become a monthly sustainer and make a tax-deductible donation today.

Every person who joins us becomes more powerful and powers us. Your generosity truly helps us to go door to door, neighborhood to neighborhood.

Since 2014 the CPD Network has improved the lives of nearly 30 million people on issues of immigration, taxation, healthcare, education, climate justice and so much more.

So I ask you to continue to raise your powerful voice. Please give as much as you can to make this next year our most powerful and groundbreaking yet.

My story is just one of many within the CPD Network of working to realize our shared vision of equity and opportunity. When we join together, we know that change is on the horizon.  We must not back down until it is a reality!

In solidarity,
