John, the 2024
election is over, and Donald Trump has officially won the presidential
election.

Trump’s victory is a devastating outcome for our country and the
innumerous marginalized communities he has targeted for the last decade.

There are millions of people living in the U.S. who are scared right now
for what the future holds and we stand ready to protect and defend each
other. We face threats of mass deportations, a national abortion ban, and
an all-out assault on our democracy and civil rights. Our political
leadership – those who have had the power and privilege to govern over us
for decades – owes it to each of them to take responsibility for how a
second Donald Trump presidency became possible again under their watch.

The leadership of the Democratic Party has repeatedly chosen to let Trump,
the GOP, and corporations dictate our policy positions rather than our own
base or the people who will inherit the future we are fighting for.

Our leadership cannot say they stand for peace and the sanctity and
prosperity of all lives if we continue to let families get forced out of
their homes because they can’t make ends meet in this economy; throw away
our asylum policies because of Trump’s demonizing of immigrants; or refuse
to stop funding bombs we know are wiping out entire generations of
families in Palestine.

The Democratic Party is rapidly losing its legitimacy amongst the everyday
people and marginalized communities continuously used as stepping stones
to win elections. For as long as our Party has cozied up with corporate
CEOs, right-wing billionaires, and big money Super PACs, everyday people
in this country have seen Democrats’ populist platitudes as hypocrisy at
best, and outright deceitful at worst.

The reality is that the leadership of both parties is bought and paid for
by billionaires and corporations that are dividing our communities,
undermining our fundamental freedoms, exploiting our workers, and
destroying our planet. These monied interests are on the frontlines of
destroying our democracy, taking away the power of voters through their
unprecedented spending in elections — while those in power refuse to stand
up and fight back. For eight years, the Democratic Party has been the
Party against Trump instead of the Party for the people.

With the victory of Donald Trump, there are no easy answers for where we
as a country and movement go from here. But what is clear to us is that
politically courageous leaders at the federal level are needed now more
than ever – the Democratic Party must usher in a new era, led by new
leaders, not beholden to corporations and billionaires. Leaders in
Congress like the Squad have shown us another way of doing politics is
possible and represent the promise of uniting our fractured nation into a
multiracial democracy where everyone thrives and no one is left behind.

It’s time to end the era of career politicians and the corrupt campaign
finance laws that keep them in power. Either they can choose to step down
and welcome a new generation of teachers, nurses, union workers, and
everyday people to the halls of power or they can be forced out at the
ballot box. Their time is up.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
