Endorsement Process

We support these candidates through canvassing, campaign events, phone banking, and Get Out the Vote efforts.

We have been involved in successful campaigns to nominate and elect Helen Gym to City Council, Art Haywood to the State Senate, and Chris Rabb to the State House. We were a major force in the coalition that helped elect our nationally renowned District Attorney Larry Krasner.
