Indivisibles -

Ezra and Leah here. Senator Warren announced she’s dropping out of the
presidential race. This is a gut punch to us personally, and we wanted to
write a quick note because we know how much her campaign has meant to so
many of the leaders in the Indivisible movement. 

Warren is a true, visionary leader on the issues Indivisibles care most
about. The foundational idea of her campaign was that if we reform our
democracy with big, structural change, we’ll be able to tackle all the
challenges we face with a representative government that actually responds
to the people. Warren wasn’t just campaigning to defeat Trump -- she was
campaigning to build a functioning democracy in this country. As a result
of her intellect, political talent, and visionary platform, Warren was
consistently the top choice of Indivisible leaders in our movement -- and
unsurprisingly, she was the top-ranking candidate on our presidential
candidate scorecard. 

We believe Warren would have defeated Trump, and we know she would have
been an incredible, era-defining president. We mourn the loss of that
potential political future that seemed within our grasp just a short time
ago. But we don’t mourn Warren’s campaign -- we are thankful for it. We
are thankful for the brilliant ideas she brought to the forefront of the
national debate; her insistence on policy solutions rooted in an
understanding of structural racism and ingrained societal misogyny; her
consistent hopeful vision for the future that she described with such
moral clarity; and how much she inspired us over the course of her run. We
are thankful for all that, and because we know she will persist.

None of this dampens our resolve to defeat Trump, retake the Senate, and
pass historic reforms to our democracy in 2021. Yes, we have a
responsibility to learn every time we fall, and there will be time for
debriefs, analyses, and strategic planning soon. For right now we are
simply sitting with our appreciation for a brilliant, historic leader who
continues to inspire a movement that will persist along with her.

In solidarity,

Ezra & Leah

Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors, Indivisible
