The PCCC, MoveOn, Democracy for America, 350.Org, and Presente are making the closing argument supporting Keith Ellison for DNC Chair in an open letter to DNC voting members before tomorrowai??i??s vote.
As CNN just reported, it highlights the fact that Ellison is the best candidate in the Chair race to connect the DNC to the vibrant resistance energy ai??i?? having earned the trust of grassroots groups representing millions of people:
In a letter to DNC members obtained by CNN, the leaders of five groups at the heart of the political left ai??i?? MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Democracy for America, 350 Action and Presente Action ai??i?? argued that only Ellison can bridge the divide between the Democratic establishment and the partyai??i??s grassroots.
The groups also said theyai??i??d be ai???eager to engageai??? directly with the partyai??i??s infrastructure under Ellisonai??i??s leadership. It was an implicit rebuke of former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, who is in a tight race with Ellison for DNC chair. … They continued: ai???If Keith Ellison is DNC chair, we can hit the ground running ai??i?? and because of the pre-existing trust that exists between Keith and the grassroots, every state party would have a head start harnessing the power of the resistance.ai???
The PCCC has been a top Ellison organizing force ai??i?? recently announcing four new voting members for Ellison earlier this week: NH Sen. Martha Fuller-Clark (D-Portsmouth), Sheila Selkregg from Anchorage, AK, Edward Wesley from Anchorage, AK, and Curtis Wylde Wells, a Missouri Democratic Party State Committee member.
