<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2><p><strong>Run does not process donations directly on our platform,</strong> as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.</p><p><strong>Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea.</strong><br></p><p>Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>ActBlue</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Campaign Deputy</strong></a><strong><br></strong></p></li><li><p><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>GoodChange</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Numero</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>NGP VAN</strong></a></p></li></ul>

<p>These are some of the <strong>top priorities</strong> our campaign is focused on.</p>

<h2>Fix our broken health care system</h2>

<h2>Strengthen public education at all levels</h2>

<h2>Raise wages and empower workers</h2>

<h2>Create stronger and safer communities</h2>

<h2>Defeat Trump's authoritarian takeover</h2>

Priorities Grid

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Proven Leadership, Ready on Day One</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Everton is not new to leading during crisis or across lines of difference. In 2018, he made history as the first person of color and the youngest-ever member elected to the Gwinnett County School Board. He entered office as the only Democrat and the youngest member by 40 years, but that did not stop him from fighting for the community that raised him. On day one, Everton went to work <strong>delivering </strong>for students, educators and families.</p><p style="text-align: left;">He used his platform to recruit new school board candidates. They won and replaced two Republican seats on the board, creating a Democratic majority. As Board Chair, Everton led the Metro Atlanta COVID-19 pandemic response, while successfully raising teacher pay, expanding student services, and overseeing the county's most historic superintendent transition. </p>
