Hey John, it's Aru with Sunrise.

Earlier today, young people went to Chuck Schumer’s office to remind him that millions of people voted for him to fight back against Donald Trump.

He chose to arrest them rather than look them in the eyes.

For the last 8 years, Democratic Party leadership has had one message: Trump is an oligarch and a fascist, and we cannot allow him to take power. Now, Donald Trump just passed a spending bill that would give Elon Musk and his cronies the permission to cut resources to everyday Americans — with Democratic votes.

Chuck Schumer has signaled that Democrats in the Senate will cave without the slightest resistance. This is cowardice, plain and simple.

We're building a movement of young people demanding better from our government and our elected officials, and we rely on everyday people like you. Make a donation today and help power youth organizing. [[link removed]]
This is not about “left” vs “progressives” vs “centrists” or any buzzwords they want to make it about. This is a choice between standing for what their voters want or folding at even the mildest show of force by Republicans.

For most of the last 16 years, Republicans have filibustered endlessly, procedurally stealing two Supreme Court seats, and forcing most legislation to go through the arduous reconciliation process. Why won’t Democrats fight back just as hard?

Cowardice. They’re afraid they can’t win elections without their own billionaire donors, without their own SuperPACs.

We fought hard to get the incoming DNC chair to commit to restricting the money of fossil fuel corporations in Democratic primaries, but ultimately, we need a total ban on billionaire and SuperPAC spending in our primaries, so we can be a party accountable to everyday people, not billionaires and corporations and hedge funds.

Right-wing conspiracy theorists are obsessed with us right now, and are posting unhinged falsehoods about us. They’re doing this because they know the real threat to their power grab isn’t corporate Democrats, it’s a people’s movement.

Support our work by making a donation today, and we’ll keep fighting back against right-wing authoritarians and feckless corporate Democrats. [[link removed]]

We’re going to keep sending Chuck Schumer the same message: do your job, or step aside for somebody who will.

In Solidarity,

Aru
