Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
We are deeply saddened by the death of Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, a RFS alumna who exemplified the ethos of our work. Nancy was a young leader who always showed up for her neighbors, and our thoughts are with her loved ones and community at this difficult time.
I’ve always believed that one of our jobs as leaders is to pass the baton on to the next generation — and to give them the resources and support they need to lead us forward. On National Run for Office Day, check out runforsomethingcivics.net for the resources you need.
Tuesday, March 31st. 8pm ET. National Run for Office Day LIVE! (A virtual event that will get you fired up to lead). Be there! events.hovercast.com/e/run-for-so...
Save the date: March 31st is National Run for Office Day!! www.runforofficeday.com

One of the most horrific state executions ever filmed.
We're all simultaneously terrified, grieving, and uncontrollably angry thinking about how easily all of this could have been avoided.
👋 oh hi - this is my team! Come work with me. Save democracy and all that.
Your Iranians friends are burdened by both brutal state violence against their friends and relatives inside of Iran and an extremely toxic Iranian diaspora that is competing (sometimes violently) to install their own authoritarian of choice.
Local leaders are working to keep communities safe against ICE.
Aurora City Councilor Alli Jackson, incoming Jersey City Councilor Jake Ephros, former Minneapolis mayoral candidate Jazz Hampton, and MO State Rep. Ray Reed are protecting residents and demanding accountability.
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!
School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.
This.
Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
This guy is the anti-Trebeck.
Hot take: Community-led governance isn’t scary. It’s actually two RFS alumni on the Cambridge City Council fighting like hell for affordable housing. @votejivan.bsky.social and Ayah Al-Zub are proving that governing with values is very much a thing. Your move. Run for office.
Some folks have decided that THIS is the administration with the requisite competence to finally do American imperialism the right way.
FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.
From all of us at Run for Something: Happy holidays 💙
Thanks for showing up, believing in local leaders, and proving the future is worth fighting for. Rest up, recharge, and if running for office is on your 2026 vision board… bit.ly/Run4what
Batman Returns is a better Christmas movie than Die Hard.
A gerrymander is not a sure thing…
Formula is one of the many miracles of modern science that literally saves lives.
Fuck this guy.
An entire 45 minute @hankgreen.bsky.social video answering the question of why boomers run the government - in case you need some Thanksgiving eve viewing material that perfectly sums up why @runforsomething.net exists. youtu.be/IwgzuSqb7ys?...
"The state program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years. At the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing."
I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.
What stage of capitalism is paying "buy it for life" prices for planned obsolescence products?
With just one race left to call (ballots are still being cured), of 222 races up on 11/4, @runforsomething.net had 142 winners, 10 candidates moving to run offs, and 42 (!!!) red to blue flips.
