Progressives around the country are calling on Congresswoman Barbara Lee to stand for House Speaker. Will you join me and sign this new petition to the House Democrats to support Lee?

Social Worker. Vocally opposed the war in Iraq. Former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and current Whip and former Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Vice Chair and a founding member of the LGBT Equality Caucus.

Lee won her seat with 82.8 percent of the vote, and has been reelected nine more times with no real opposition. Her district has been Democratic since 1959.

This is the new leadership we need. I hope you'll join me in supporting Congresswoman Lee.
