I will not ask you to look for silver linings.

I will not ask you to feel anything but grief right now. The consequences
of this election will be real and devastating.

But I’m reminding myself that on the road ahead, there will still be
opportunities to fight back.

I can’t tell you we will win all of those fights. I can’t tell you we will
win most or even any of them. But when we arrive at each of those moments,
we will face a choice: to give up, or to press forward.

We can’t control everything that comes next. But we can control how we
respond.

The far right wants us to feel powerless. Extremists are counting on
apathy, cynicism, heartbreak, or all the above to be their rocketfuel.
They are counting on us to point fingers at each other and lose trust in
our ability to ever, ever make change.

I absolutely refuse to give them the satisfaction. Feeling powerless is
the first step toward becoming powerless. By staying united, by refusing
to surrender, we give ourselves a fighting chance.

We will continue to fight for each other.

Eight years ago, in the dark days when Republicans took full power in
Washington, I thought the Affordable Care Act would be gone with a snap of
a finger. But the American people rose up. Activists like the late,
inimitable Ady Barkan and countless others put their bodies on the line.
They made their voices heard. They saved health care for millions of
families.

And a grassroots movement against far-right control took back the House in
2018, the White House in 2020, and the Senate in 2021. Don’t let anyone
tell you that those victories didn’t make a real difference in people’s
lives. More people could afford to go to the doctor and fill a
prescription. More people could go to work. More parents could afford to
put food on the table for their kids and buy new coats for them in the
winter. Lives were saved. And as the far right works to roll back what
we’ve achieved, they’ll hope we won’t have the stomach to push back. But
we can choose to prove them wrong.

We need each other. We take care of each other. And please, take care of
yourself. Take the time you need right now to be angry, hurt, and
confused. Hold your loved ones close. Find opportunities to be in
community with others this week. Take social media breaks. Foster your
connections. Make new ones. Reach out to someone you’ve lost touch with.
Tell them you’re with them no matter what lies ahead.

If the work you do makes a difference for just one person, that would be
enough.

I will wake up every morning and choose to fight for our families, our
freedoms, and our kids’ futures. I will do everything I can in my position
to defend our values and fight back.

And I will always be honored to fight by your side.

is still too close to call right now. We need to do everything we can to
ensure Republicans can’t gain any more power in the Senate. Every vote
will matter. If you can pitch in anything you can to her campaign, your
full donation will help support their ballot curing operation.

- Elizabeth

P.S. To everyone who volunteered, who phone banked, who texted, who
knocked doors, who brought cookies to the volunteers, who put up a lawn
sign, who gave part of themselves to be part of something bigger — for our
re-election campaign in Massachusetts and for campaigns across the country
— thank you. You are the beating heart of our democracy.
