This is a good reminder that when PCCC members invest early in progressive leaders, its not just about winning elections in the short term its about building power over time.
As Elizabeth Warren advocates for big ideas like reforming Wall Street, making college affordable, and expanding Social Security benefits, her voice will now be even louder because shell be at the Democratic leadership table.
Click here to sign a congratulations card to Elizabeth Warren (and add a personal note), which the PCCC will deliver to her.
The PCCC ran the Draft Elizabeth Warren for Senate campaign and was her #1 grassroots supporter in 2012 raising over $1.17 million through over 70,000 small-dollar donations for her campaign. The PCCC partnered with Warren on big legislative pushes in 2013 and 2014. With this news, that partnership grows stronger and all of Elizabeth Warrens and the PCCCs work together has more impact.

(13,305 posts)6. Done, but I seriously worry about this.
The whole thing feels like a way to use her to raise funds from more liberal leaning groups, with actually no power to re-shape the party and point it back in the right direction.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but I've learned to be very cynical about the people that have been leading our party for the past 2 decades or so.
