Hey friends, my birthday is on Monday! I turn 34. Every year, I do a fundraiser for @runningstart, a non-profit that trains young women and non-binary folks in high school and college on how to get involved in politics, especially running for office. (thread)
This year, I set a goal of $10,000, which would provide full scholarships for five young women and non-binary folks to attend Running Start's summer leadership program. Alums of Running Start have gone on to do great things, and we want to keep that going.
The org's goal is to increase the number of women and non-binary people in the United States who serve in elected office by planting the seed early. Their training programs emphasize that political leadership is an attainable goal for young women and non-binary people to pursue.
So, I humbly request that you consider donating whatever you can. There are two ways:
1. I set up a Facebook fundraiser here that tracks the total and verifies their non-profit status: bit.ly/33K4R0u
2. Or donate directly: runningstart.org/donate/
