Holy Toledo!

We had a terrific event Saturday afternoon with Rep. Sherrod Brown, who's running for Senate against Mike DeWine and is one of SNAP's endorsed candidates, and his amazing wife, Connie Schultz, who's won the Pulitzer Prize for her columns which advance the cause of justice for working men and women. They, along with SNAP Political Director Jared Malsin and SNAP intern Dylan Daney, spoke eloquently of the need to elect progressives to help create the kind of change that progressive movement activists all over wish to see in the world. Rep. Brown praised SNAP for its "progressive pragmatism" and for working to bring student energy back to electoral politics, both through the SNAP interns on the ground this summer and through the organizing SNAP will be doing on campuses across the country this fall to mobilize thousands of student volunteers to pound the pavement for progressive candidates.

Rep. Brown made no bones about why students could be critical to victory for progressive candidates this fall. Students will work harder and bring more energy to their work than any other segment of the population. Now the challenge is to make sure they are activated.

This fall, that means making sure that SNAP students will have the ability not only to organize those hundreds of students to go out and knock on doors, but also to transport them to the areas where they are most needed and the races that matter most. Those transportation costs will not be small, which is why we need your support - please contribute $10, $25, $50 or more to SNAP today to help ensure victory this fall.
