No more platitudes. We need real leaders.
I am proud to share the slate of endorsements I’ve given to candidates thus far. These candidates are speaking truth to power, putting their feet to the fire for the working class, and championing a progressive era for America.
🔥We're proud to endorse Eric Wilson for WI State Treasurer—a fearless progressive, proud gay Wisconsinite, and mental health advocate. In the WI-03 race, he called for a Gaza ceasefire, universal health care, & an assault weapons ban. Priorities? Accountability + shools +housing
Proud to endorse a slate of candidates who will take on corporate greed, stand up for workers, and put economic power back in the hands of ordinary Americans.
SNAP benefits are running out and when that happens, it’s not just numbers on a screen that disappear. It’s food off the table. It’s kids going to bed hungry. It’s seniors skipping meals to keep the lights on.
In Appalachia, that means entire communities are about to hurt. And when that happens, Blue Jay Rising steps up.
We’re launching an emergency effort to supply food banks and pantries across West Virginia and the Appalachian region but we can’t do it alone. We’re already getting calls from struggling families and local food banks that are running on fumes. We need your help right now to keep shelves stocked and bellies full.
Every dollar you give will go directly toward food, transport, and community aid for the hardest-hit areas the hollers, the coal towns, the places that the rest of the country forgets until it’s too late.
Appalachia has always looked out for its own. Let’s do it again together.

🔥 We’re fired up to endorse Emily Berge for Congress!
She’s taking on Derrick Van Orden—refusing corporate PAC $$ & standing for Medicare for All, housing & clean water as human rights, climate justice, & an end to genocide in Gaza. https://t.co/DWnVgB3yjF
🔥 We’re proud to endorse @OliverALarkin for Congress in FL-23!
A union organizer + Bernie 2016 alum, Oliver rejects corporate PAC $$ and fights for #MedicareForAll, a #GreenNewDeal, $25 wage & real climate justice.
South Florida deserves his fearless leadership. 🌟
Thrilled to endorse @zachshrewsbury for U.S. Senate. A Marine vet, labor organizer, co-founder of @BluejayRising, & the working-class voice we need in the Senate, he fights for workers, universal healthcare, & bold climate action.

We're fired up to throw our full support behind @ironstache Randy Bryce for Congress (WI-01). Bryce is not just another candidate; he’s a battle-hardened union ironworker who’s spent his life fighting for working people, not corporate boardrooms. https://t.co/Fg29l4ASPU.
If you live in AZ-02, sign our petition to @RepEliCrane, who has never held a public (open to all people) town hall in Flagstaff and doesn't even live in the district he represents! https://t.co/OAQoUD574z

Our endorsed, across-the-board progressive candidates, @YsabelJuradoLA (LA City Council) with 56% and Jen Allen (Pima County, AZ, BOS) with 54%, are this cycle winners. Despite being first-time candidates, both ran focused, spirited, and serious campaigns. It can be done!
Portland, OR, will have a whole new City Council elected for the first time via multi-winner ranked choice voting. We are proud to endorse Luke Zak! His values, deeply rooted in human rights, and his across-the-board progressive policy positions will serve well all the people.
Today @ninaturner addressed progressives at @pdamerica’s Progressive Central in Chicago reminding us that voting is transactional and we must be demanding. Policy matters. Without it identity is nothing.
Arizona's Republicans are referring to the voters a constitutional amendment (!) that would cut wages for tipped workers. Help us fight back. https://t.co/3DrsEmKiso
