As he campaigns to become Vice President of the United States, you should know that JD Vance:
-
Has close ties to the creators of Project 2025, the terrifying extremist plan to reshape the government during a second Trump presidency.1
-
Owes his political career to big-tech billionaires, despite claiming to be a voice for working people.2
-
Would be a disaster for women’s rights and reproductive justice — believing that women should stay in violent marriages “for the kids”3 and supporting abortion bans even in the case of rape or incest, saying “two wrongs don’t make a right.”4
-
Opposes LGBTQ rights, including legal protection from discrimination and gender-affirming health care for transgender youth.5
-
Supported the illegal attempts to overturn the 2020 election6, and spread lies to help some of the most violent participants on January 6.7
-
In a cynical, power-hungry move, has dedicated himself to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement despite once saying how dangerous they are — Vance has called Trump “America’s Hitler,” “a total fraud” who “doesn’t actually care about folks,” “reprehensible,” “noxious,” a “moral disaster,” an “idiot,” and “unfit for our nation’s highest office.”8
We cannot sit back and allow Donald Trump and JD Vance’s policies to become the reality in our country.
We’re fighting hard every day to block far-right extremists at every level of government and build real power for the multi-racial working class. Pitch in to support our grassroots movement and stop the MAGA movement from retaking control of our country.
