*EARLIER EMAIL:*

Tuesday night, the progressive radio station We Act Radio in Anacostia,
Washington DC, was robbed. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment
was stolen, including a valuable laptop used to live-stream. The burglars
even took the front door!

*We Act is part of the solution to Sean Hannity, Donald Trump, and
right-wing radio* -- pumping progressive messaging to many people across
numerous shows. Back when Bernie Sanders couldn't get on national TV, We
Act gave him a platform. When there is a progressive event or candidate, We
Act is there.

It's run by Kymone Freeman and Alex Lawson. Alex is also the executive
director of Social Security Works, one of our top allies in shifting the
national debate from cutting Social Security to expanding it.

*These are great people and they do great work. They've already raised
$15,000 toward their goal of $25,000 to get back on the air and come back
stronger than ever.*

Can you chip in and help? Every dollar raised into the PCCC Strategic Fund
on this page will go straight to We Act Radio.

Progressive infrastructure is everything. Let's make sure we have their
back.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
