Write Postcards for Skyler Johnson
Join Markers for Democracy to write postcards for Skyler Johnson. He is running for NYS Senate in SD-1. Skyler is 22 and would be the youngest person ever elected to the NYS Senate (breaking Chuck Schumer's record) if he wins his race. He is running to flip a seat in SD-1 on the East End of Long Island. Skyler is 100% pro-choice and running against a Republican who has a terrible voting record on reproductive rights.
Any time
Make sure health care workers get their raises
Tell Governor Hochul to make sure the health care minimum wage hike goes to workers (not insurance companies). Call her at 518-474-8390.

DOWN BALLOT RACES ARE CRITICAL!
State legislatures control voting rules, abortion rights, and much more. State Secretaries of State certify elections. These down ballot races are just as important as Congressional and gubernatorial contests. Thanks to Carol, we have a list of them. Donate, or help out as you can!
