We invest in our people

Way to Lead’s candidates represent the future of America, and are running campaigns that speak boldly about the egalitarian, multiracial community that is this country’s promise. They represent communities that have often been taken for granted by Democrats, and their campaigns champion the progressive values that are transforming the political landscape. Collectively, they tell the story of how movements for racial and economic justice are growing power across the country, particularly in the South, and lift up the central role of working class women of color. These races are critical to fighting back against corporate greed and MAGA extremism at the local level, and represent the variety of electoral fights progressives are up against—from protecting incumbents, to challenging corporate Democrats, to flipping seats in red to blue battlegrounds. Join us in supporting these state and local candidates to win governing power and build our bench for future fights.
