Now, I know Raja.
He is smart. He is tough. And he knows firsthand what opportunity can mean.
His family came to this country with very little. They relied on public housing and food stamps. He worked his way from Peoria all the way to Congress.
And instead of pulling the ladder up behind him, Raja has spent his career fighting to make sure the next family gets the same shot.
That means standing up for workers.
Holding powerful corporations and corrupt politicians accountable.
Defending immigrants, voting rights, and every American targeted by Trump’s politics of division.
And now he is putting that experience toward building the next generation of Democratic leadership.
Here’s the truth: The leaders we need are already out there.
They are running for city council, state legislature, Congress, and offices most national donors are not paying attention to yet.
They have the courage.
They have the ideas.
What they do not always have is the money, infrastructure, and early support necessary to compete.
That is where Equal Opportunity Now comes in.
Please chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can today to help Raja build the organization Democrats should have built years ago.
