REPRESENTATIVE ANNA V. ESKAMANI RAISES $100K TO LAUNCH STATEWIDE VOTER REG ORGANIZATION

Rep. Eskamani's Goal is to Register 25,000 New Voters in 2021

[Orlando, FL - March 2nd, 2021] Today, Representative Anna V. Eskamani announced that her political committee, People Power for Florida, raised over $100,000 from more than 500 individual donors in February. The committee will use the funds to begin registering and mobilizing young Floridians, voters of color, and working-class people to build long-term political power across the Sunshine State.

The voter registration plan was built on the belief that if Democrats want to win in 2022, continuous organizing in communities that have long been ignored and overlooked by the political parties must begin now. Eskamani said,“the key to addressing high levels of voter disengagement and distrust is with peer advocates and local organizations meeting people where they are at in their communities.”

People Power for Florida will focus on pocketbook issues and explain how elected officials' decisions at all levels impact the lives of everyday people. The political committee will use the same volunteer snowflake organizing model used by Eskamani's 2020 campaign to write 13,000 postcards, knock on 36,000 doors, make over 41,000 calls. People Power for Florida plans to use this organizing model to train 1,000 new volunteer leaders and organizations to register new voters -- with a goal of 25,000 new voters registered by the end of 2021.

All funds raised in February came from individual donors; People Power for Florida does not accept contributions from corporations. Eskamani said,“We raised more than $100,000 without taking a cent from corporations because this must be a truly people-funded movement for transformational change. I am so thankful for all the volunteer work and generosity from donors that enabled us to hit our ambitious goal.”

Fundraising will be paused due to the legislative session beginning and may continue after sine die. More information can be found at www.PeoplePowerforFlorida.com
