John,

Millions of Americans approve of the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate supposedly wasteful federal spending by any means necessary. 

That puts my party in a bind. 

But Democrats must do more than just confront the cuts. We must also break free from a stale, conventional platform.

That’s what I wrote in my new op-ed in the New York Times today.

While anti-system political appointees are working to take away funding for cancer research and decent schools in working-class neighborhoods, we need to offer a counter vision that the government is a force for good.

Inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrats can win the public’s confidence by enlisting technologists, financiers, labor and business leaders and academics — not to dismiss civil servants, but to reassert government’s role in confronting inequality and driving economic growth in struggling communities.

Please take a moment to read my essay about the future of the Democratic Party in the New York Times. Text me at (650) 999-9610 and let me know what you think.

Thank you for your support, your activism, and everything you do.

Onward,

Ro
