I get it: It sometimes feels like we’re swimming against the current.
Like nothing we do matters, because the other side is willing to lie, cheat, and betray every single principle they once held in order to win.
For example, how do we tackle climate change when half of Congress pretends it doesn’t exist? Or uphold democracy, when an entire political party refuses to accept that their guy lost?
Well, in the wise words of Finding Nemo's Dory: We "just keep swimming."
Because if we throw in the towel, there’s a 0% chance we’ll stop climate change, restore reproductive rights, or defend our democracy. So instead, we strap on a life vest and keep paddling, even when the seas are stormy.
I’ll round out the swimming metaphors with a quick request: Will you help my campaign sail towards our End-of-Month goal by chipping in $25 today?
Thanks for helping to keep our collective heads above water.
