I'd be the second Gen Z'er to serve in Congress

My name is Liam Elkind, I'm a 26 year old non-profit CEO and Rhodes Scholar, and I'm running for Congress against an incumbent who is three times my age. Since you're a supporter of my non-profit, Invisible Hands, I wanted you to be the first to know.
As a member of Gen Z, I'm often told to wait my turn. That leaders 20, 30, 40, and 50 years older than me know better. That my time will come "eventually."
But Jason, we can't wait until "eventually." We're in an existential crisis, and we need bold solutions now.
When COVID was ravaging New York City, I didn't wait for others to step up. I saw my neighbors go hungry as the world shut down, so I started a nonprofit called Invisible Hands to deliver food to those who needed it.
We recruited 1,300 volunteers within 72 hours. Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, and even the government of New York City directed caregivers and parents trying to feed their families during the pandemic to my organization.
But people's lives shouldn't depend on a college student picking up his phone. We need our leaders to answer the call.
Then, like now, as our leaders failed at solving our nation's problems, Gen Z stepped up and got it done.
I'm running for Congress because the Democratic Party is in crisis, and the people in charge aren't capable of getting us out.
The current generation of leadership has failed time and time again.
They failed to beat Trump.
They failed to fix the housing crisis.
They failed to stop climate change.
And they failed to stop the attacks on our democracy.
That's got to change.
I'm running to defeat Trump in the short-term and Trumpism in the long-term. I'm running to ban corporate PAC money, impose term limits, build affordable housing, and serve people in need. I'm running because the Democratic Party needs to be the party of action and urgency.
I'm running because we can't wait for the solutions to our biggest problems, and my generation won't wait to take charge and make change.
If you're ready to join this movement, I'd be honored if you'd chip in before midnight tonight. We need a strong showing ahead of our end-of-month deadline to show the establishment that we're in this to win. Can I count on you to split a donation between Democratic Values and me?
