Danielle,
One year ago today, Elizabeth gave a speech at Boston's Old South Meeting House about one of the most significant people who ever sat in those pews — Phillis Wheatley.
Elizabeth talked about how Phillis Wheatley's legacy reminds us of the power of imagining a better future.
The speech was part of a series of major addresses throughout the presidential campaign about persistent women in American history who fought back against the rich and powerful to put power in the hands of the people.
We've put together a print collection of those speeches, and it's now available for pre-order — so you can hold onto the stories that Elizabeth shared of extraordinary women making change.
This collection includes the full text of Elizabeth's biggest campaign speeches, along with photos from the campaign trail and archival images from the history she discusses:
The Bread and Roses Strike
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire
The Atlanta Washerwomen's Strike
Phillis Wheatley's life story
The Justice for Janitors movement
This collection is a powerful reminder of the grassroots campaign that you helped build, Danielle — and an inspiration to stay in the fight. Plus, every purchase helps elect Democrats like Elizabeth and helps lay the groundwork for big, structural change.
2021 will be a better year, but not because there's any magic associated with turning a page on a calendar. It will be a better year because so many people have fought so hard throughout 2020 and will
Happy New Year's Eve, Danielle — I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.
Bruce and I always like to have a quiet New Year's, so tonight, we'll keep up our tradition of rewatching Casablanca for the zillionth time.
Every time I watch it, Casablanca gives me hope.
It's a story about love, loyalty, and courage. It's about how people survive and how they flourish — even against all odds. And it's about hope young people on the threshold of building a new life, and old people looking for a safe landing place. At the edge of a big transformation — praying and fighting for a brighter dawn.
We can all use some more hope right now.
2021 will be a better year, but not because there's any magic associated with turning a page on a calendar. It will be a better year because so many people have fought so hard throughout 2020 and will continue to fight. So many people worked their tails off to help elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So many doctors, nurses, scientists, teachers, food service workers, farm workers, custodians, truck drivers, and other essential workers fought back against this pandemic, gave us hope in the form of a vaccine, and kept our country going.
Danielle, I'm deeply grateful that you've helped power our movement to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, lay out plans for bold reform to put people first, and build a foundation for big, structural change.
We have a lot of work ahead of us in 2021, and I'm asking if you can chip in to help keep up the fight.
Two years ago today, we launched our presidential exploratory committee based on a few key pillars: Calling out what's broken, laying out plans to fix it, and building a grassroots movement — where everyone has an equal voice — to make change.
Today, we're still following those same values through Warren Democrats. We're still fighting to put political and economic power in the hands of the people — where it belongs.
And we're going to keep up the fight in 2021 and beyond.
But it's only possible with the continued support of people like you. Let's keep working side by side to make sure the new year is a brighter one for everyone who's struggling and everyone who needs a government that finally is on their side.
Whether or not we take back the Senate will depend on the Get Out The Vote efforts in the last week. The Ossoff and Warnock campaigns are being outspent by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans in th
Danielle, time is running out.
There are only 6 days left before voting ends in the Georgia Senate runoffs. Whether or not we take back the Senate will depend on the Get Out The Vote efforts in the last week.
The Ossoff and Warnock campaigns are being outspent by Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans in the final days of this race — seriously jeopardizing our very last chance to take back the Senate.
That's why we're counting on the strength of our grassroots movement to close the gap. Danielle, we wouldn't ask if it weren't powerfully important:
In Georgia, statewide runoffs favor strong candidates with the most robust and well-organized operations. That's why this week's Get Out The Vote program is so critical. The Ossoff and Warnock campaigns have already begun organizing and mobilizing voters across the state — making calls, knocking on doors, and sending texts.
But Mitch McConnell and the GOP are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the state to defend their majority — and we must fight back harder than ever before.
Recent polls show that BOTH Ossoff and Warnock are neck and neck with their Republican opponents. There is a path to victory for Jon and Raphael on Tuesday. And with the support of a grassroots movement, we can win.
This shouldn't be hard. Struggling families need real relief. That includes $2,000 survival checks. The House has already passed a bill to get it done. Senate Democrats and even some Senate Republican
Danielle,
This shouldn't be hard.
Struggling families need real relief. That includes $2,000 survival checks. The House has already passed a bill to get it done. Senate Democrats and even some Senate Republicans are on board. Trump said he'll sign it.
But now, Mitch McConnell is standing in the way. We all need to raise our voices to show that this plan has the support of the American people.
Putting money directly into the hands of working people will help them put food on the table, pay rent, and boost our whole economy by getting more spending going. It's a win-win for families and for our whole country.
Now, there's a lot more that Congress needs to do, on an ongoing basis until this crisis is over, to help working people and small businesses get by — and to level the playing field in the long run.
But we should at least be able to agree to this basic step we can take right now to help address this emergency. To help keep Americans from going hungry and losing their homes. To help people have a little more security during the worst health crisis and the worst economic crisis in a century.
Because let's be clear: we still have a long way to go before we can get to a just recovery. The pandemic has forced 40 million Americans to file for unemployment, creating a gaping hole in our economy. The CARES Act provided some real relief — the share of people in poverty dropped, and incomes rose. But then those programs expired, and as summer turned into fall, the share of Americans in poverty spiked at its fastest rate ever recorded.
The aid package that Trump just signed won't be enough. We need to do more, including sending out $2,000 checks. But it won't happen unless a grassroots movement demands it.
Right now, with our last FEC fundraising deadline of the year coming up this Thursday, we're crunching the numbers to figure out our budget for 2021. If we don't hit our goal in the next few days, we'
Danielle,
We're grateful that we've gotten to fight by your side this year — to support Elizabeth, to help elect Warren Democrats up and down the ballot, and to lay out bold plans for big, structural change.
Our work is only going to become more critical in 2021. We can make real progress to root out corruption and put power in the hands of the people. And by growing our grassroots movement, we can lay the groundwork to elect more champions for working people across the country.
Right now, with our last FEC fundraising deadline of the year coming up this Thursday, we're crunching the numbers to figure out our budget for 2021. If we don't hit our goal in the next few days, we'll have to scale back our outreach plans for the next few months.
Elizabeth has been busy in the past several months, and she's counting on us to stay in the fight, too.
She's laid out plans for guaranteeing an Essential Workers' Bill of Rights, using executive authority to broadly cancel student loan debt, rewriting our bankruptcy laws so they work for the families who need them the most, and more. And she's passed a bill to remove the names of Confederate officers from military bases.
She's mobilized our movement to help elect Democrats like Jamaal Bowman, Mondaire Jones, and Lauren Underwood — and she's fighting to elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Georgia next week.
And she's shone a light on important issues that aren't always front and center in the national conversation, like how billionaires and giant corporations have been able to bounce back from this year's economic crisis while working people have fallen further behind.
In 2021, Elizabeth will keep lifting up the voices of people who are too often ignored, and she'll keep pushing for bold reforms that will address the root causes of the crises we face.
But she can't do it alone — we need to fight by her side as a grassroots movement.
