<[link removed]>Friend,

They called it Obamamania, and it was everywhere.

When Barack Obama burst onto the scene in 2008, his contrast to Hillary Clinton was remarkable.

He opposed the Iraq War. He supported a public option to open up healthcare for tens of millions of Americans. He called for sweeping investments in working families, and he called for climate policies that no other Democrat would talk about.

Millions believed him. But it was all a lie.

The Obama administration was not the much-needed march towards a better future, not even remotely. In nearly every meaningful way, Obama made the future we are fighting for harder to achieve.

Obama put kids in cages before Trump did, and earned the nickname “Deporter In Chief” for his cruel immigration policies.

Obama killed the public option in the Affordable Care Act in an act of total surrender to Big Insurance. He repeatedly bailed out greedy corporate executives but never the American worker.

Worst of all, this so-called anti-war president decimated our movement for peace. Obama took us from two wars to SEVEN, expanded mass surveillance, and viciously persecuted whistleblowers.

We didn’t know much about Obama going into his presidency, we had to learn all this the hard way.

But we know a LOT more about Kamala Harris.

From her record as a prosecutor facilitating mass incarceration, to her active support of genocide, and her total capitulation to corporate power on progressive issues from banning fracking to guaranteeing healthcare...

In every single way, a Harris Presidency is a continuation of the corporate politics and popular revolt that delivered the White House to a cartoon villain in the first place.

Indeed, we can be certain that “Nothing will fundamentally change” under Harris. And that is the problem.

We need much more than fundamental change. We need a radical transformation of our social and political landscape – or the next cartoon villain elected may be competent enough to finish us off.

They called it Obamamania in 2008. In 2024, it’s been rebranded as Kamalanomenon.

They fooled us once. We won’t be fooled again.

It remains true that there is ONLY ONE anti-genocide, pro-peace, pro-worker, climate action campaign with a pathway to the White House this November – ours. We need your financial support to deliver our mandate at the ballot box. <[link removed]>

<[link removed]>DONATE NOW <[link removed]>Behind the fervor and the sign-waving and the lofty, aspirational-sounding speeches lies a decades-long record of lip service and broken promises.

We know better now. And the moment is so much more urgent than before. Neither our planet nor our democracy has another 16 years to experiment with little tweaks and fixes. NOW is the time to go bold.

I’m asking you to invest in the radical transformation that this moment demands. Will you join us? <[link removed]>

In solidarity and gratitude,

Jill
