get off the sidelines!

Hi, it's Kirsten.

Now more than ever, I'm thinking about a lesson my grandmother taught me:

Big change is only possible when we get off the sidelines.

That's how we make progress in our communities — by showing up to local government meetings, signing petitions for causes we care about and getting involved in our kids' schools.

That's how we elect leaders who truly represent us — by knocking doors, making calls and talking to our neighbors about the candidates we want to see in the halls of Congress.

That's how we combat harmful attacks on Black, brown, LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities — by speaking up against injustice and demanding more from our leaders.

And that's how we win.

I founded Off the Sidelines PAC to elect diverse progressive voices to Congress — and we're already sprinting ahead to 2026 to win back our majorities and defeat Donald Trump's agenda. So will you chip in $5 or more to join our movement?

The midterms are just around the corner, and we have the power to elect new leaders who will hold the line against the MAGA agenda.

And we can build on our amazing victories in November by electing more leaders like:
