Danielle, I just want to reach out to say thank you. Thank you for still being in this fight. Thank you for continuing to link arms and make each other stronger. Thank you for being a member of our grassroots movement that believes that quality child care should not eat up an entire paycheck. That the top one-tenth of the 1% percent should not be able to own as much wealth as the bottom 90% of all families combined. That corporate special interest groups should not be able to pour billions into our elections to keep the government working in their favor. That masked ICE agents should not be able to gun people down in the streets and swipe children up by their backpacks with full, unchecked immunity. That MAGA extremists shouldn't be able to stop people from voting or redraw maps or overturn election results they don't like. That we need to aggressively address the corruption coming out of the Trump administration and guarantee that no other President can hijack our government to serve as their own personal grift machine ever again. That the Democratic Party should not be more worried about offending big donors than how they're delivering for working people. Look, our opponents want us to feel powerless. Extremists are counting on apathy, cynicism, heartbreak, or all the above to be their rocket fuel. They are counting on us to point fingers at each other and lose trust in our ability to ever, ever make change. I absolutely refuse to give them the satisfaction — and I know this team won't either. Feeling powerless is the first step toward becoming powerless. By staying united, by refusing to surrender, we give ourselves a fighting chance. I won't accept standing idly by and watching as Trump swats away ethics requirements and bulldozes checks and balances. We can beat the extreme MAGA vision of a country that has fewer freedoms, fewer working people able to make ends meet, and fewer voices in our democracy. And we can build something new. A country that doesn't only work for people at the top, but for everyone. We can reimagine our tax code, with billionaires and giant corporations paying a fair share. We can pass universal child care. We can reform the Supreme Court. We can end the filibuster. We can get our government to look out for people. That's what I'm going to keep fighting for — and I'm so grateful to have you by my side in this fight. Thanks for being a part of this, Elizabeth  |
