John,
Feeling helpless? I’ve got something that can help.
It’s true, those of us fighting against oligarchy took a big hit in 2024. But we can still fight back in our communities right now. 2025 is a major election year. There are one hundred thousand open seats up for election this year across 45 states.
Now I get it – you may be tired of being told to just keep voting. And Donald Trump may think that we don’t have a Constitution or checks and balances anymore. But here’s the thing: we do.
Governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards – these positions up and down the entire 2025 ballot – are a vital line of defense against the Trump-Musk-Vance Regime.
Check out this week’s video to see some of the ways your vote will make a difference in 2025. Then pass it along to your friends to lift their spirits up too!
Wisconsin? A crucial seat on the Supreme Court. New Jersey and Virginia? Governorships and control of state houses are up for grabs. And New York: A chance to elect a mayor free of corruption charges – and Trump’s control!
Even the U.S. House of Representatives could change hands, depending on the outcomes of special elections in Florida and New York.
State and local offices have a huge impact on your day-to-day life. So register, volunteer, donate, and vote. You do have a voice. And right now it’s more important than ever to join the fight against fascism in America. For your local information, go to vote.org or Ballotpedia.
Remember: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it.
Don’t agonize. Organize!
