• Kevin Powell is a longtime leader in Brooklyn and has been an important political activist and community organizer over the last 15 years.
  
  
  *Kevin is running to unseat Ed Towns in Brooklyn’s 10th Congressional District; Town is a longtime incumbent who raises 65% of his campaign contributions from corporate lobbyist and business PACs. Today, the netroots can show that our voice is more powerful than the voice of lobbyists and PACs.
  
  
  *In the 2006 primary, 53% of the district voted AGAINST Towns in a 3-way primary. The district is hungry for change, and overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama in the February 2008 primary. As an early Obama supporter, Kevin has positioned himself to be at the forefront of leading the country in a better direction. A Congressperson should be an organizer, a leader and a voice for his or her constituents. Kevin Powell believes that a Congressperson should not just be a name of the ballot, a Congressperson should be a mentor, a leader, and a progressive activist.
  
  
  *Please join with Gloria Steinem, George Soros, Chris Rock, Malaak Compton-Rock, Susan Taylor, Cornel West, Stonewall Democrats and Democracy for America-New York City in supporting Kevin Powell for Congress and a vision for a greater Brooklyn!
  
  
  *It’s time for the netroots to continue to get bad Democrats OUT of DC and Progressive Democrats IN DC! We did it with Donna Edwards, let’s do it with Kevin Powell!
