We know it's hard to believe, John — but in just one month, the 119th Congress will be sworn in.
With Republicans holding a trifecta — our options to fight back are limited.
But there were some bright spots! Just take a look at some of these congressional victories: ⏬
- In Delaware, Sarah McBride was elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress. And in spite of hateful attacks from the GOP, Sarah is pushing full steam ahead to serve her constituents.
- 7 out of 9 members of the Squad survived well-funded AIPAC challengers.
- In California, Democrats flipped 2 seats from their GOP incumbents and flipped other competitive seats across the country.
- While the GOP may control the House majority — it’s razor-thin, providing a greater opportunity to stymie Trump’s far-right agenda.
We know this election wasn’t what we had hoped for, John. But it wasn't all bad news either. As we look toward the future, it's important to remind ourselves of the small victories — because every victory, no matter how big or small, propels the progressive movement forward.
It’s folks like yourself who continue to make the impossible possible. Even though all seems lost at times, we are committed to remaining true to our progressive values and gearing up for the fights ahead.
These fights will be numerous and difficult, John. And it's going to take a lot of resources if we're going to thwart Trump's destructive, anti-democratic agenda.
Organizations like Justice Democrats and Squad Victory Fund will be at the forefront of the fights to come, working to defend our progressive values and stand up for what matters in the face of right-wing attacks and an incoming hostile Republican government.
With that in mind, will you chip in a split $5 contribution to Justice Democrats + Squad Victory Fund to hold the line against the MAGA right?
