We have just DAYS left until our primary election, and this grassroots campaign needs YOUR help to get our message out to working class people in this state and push us over the finish line. Our movement was just profiled in The New Yorker—give it a read and chip in to support if you can: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/shrewsbury-for-senate-fbigads?refcode=nyer "Shrewsbury and others see the Democratic primary as a chance to reenergize a progressive movement in West Virginia. “Joe Manchin, as far as anybody in West Virginia knows, is the Democratic Party,” Stewart Acuff, the former national organizing director of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and a Shrewsbury supporter, told me. “And he has swatted down so many pro-worker, pro-poor-person policies. That’s been very damaging to the Democrats in the state.” Shrewsbury’s campaign, he went on, is an opportunity to show West Virginians another way, “because we cannot grow the Democratic Party here until people believe the Party stands for them.”" https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/the-working-man-and-the-company-store
