Having Pete join us for the beginning of our next phase of work, under @zachwahls.bsky.social’s leadership, was an appropriate launch into the next five years of @thenext50.bsky.social’s 50-year vision.

Join us at thenext50.us 🧵/over

and @thenext50.bsky.social has become the #1 supporter of next-generation Democrats:
-Moving well over $12M
-Mobilizing nearly 20K donors
-Endorsing 113 candidates

+ doing immeasurable work to help Democrats win from the Arctic Circle to the Atlantic Coast.

Back in 2019, @thenext50.bsky.social did not even have its name yet. I was living in San Francisco, working at Facebook. And in the lead up to 2020, I thought one of the highest impact actions I could take was to connect my peers to next-generation political leaders who were running for President.🧵
