James — Rahm Emanuel is seriously considering a run to be the new DNC Chair. He’d be a DISASTER for our movement and the Party.
Emanuel has always been an obstacle to progress — in the Obama and Clinton administrations, in Congress, and as Chicago Mayor. If he’s at the head of the Party, Democrats can wave goodbye to any chance of winning back the working-class voters needed to win elections. It’d be handing a huge gift to corporations, billionaires, and Trump.
Rahm is a symbol of everything that’s wrong with the Party: coziness with corporate America, a brand of politics completely disconnected from working people, and an old way of thinking about elections that has failed Democrats time and again.
As part of our grassroots fight to put people ahead of corporations, overpaid consultants, and the egos of Party elites, we MUST show that our movement opposes Emanuel. Add your name right away to OPPOSE Rahm Emanuel as DNC Chair. Let’s make it clear that Rahm shouldn’t even run.
As President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm worked to block efforts to grow unions and sided with bank execs and insurance companies while SCREWING over the people suffering during the 2008 financial crisis.
In the Clinton admin, Emanuel played a key role in pushing NAFTA, which devastated American manufacturing jobs and hurt working people.
We’re in a fight for the very future of this country. Trump is heading into a second term after beating the Democratic Party elites AGAIN. Yet, corporate Democrats are still fighting progressives harder than they fight MAGA extremism. But there’s hope if we elect a DNC Chair that takes the Party in a new direction. Rahm is NOT the leadership we need right now!
If we band together and mobilize to stop Rahm from becoming DNC Chair, we not only have a chance to implement our party reform agenda, we also have a chance to shape a progressive future for the Party.
Urgent action is needed now to stop Rahm Emanuel from becoming DNC Chair. With only a few weeks left before Democrats choose a new leader, we need you to join us and say loud and clear that it can’t be Rahm.
While you’re there, chip in any amount to make sure our pressure campaign for party reform is fully funded. This is a moment for real change that we cannot afford to squander.
When we organize, we win!
