Sign this petition to urge the Gov. Gavin Newsom to stop elevating the far-right

Jack, 

 

Gavin Newsom, Democratic governor of California, has been elevating and embracing right-wing media stars such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon by featuring them as guests on his new podcast. This is not just alarming, it’s irresponsible and the complete opposite of what we need from our progressive and Democratic elected officials right now. 

Sign this petition to urge Gov. Newsom to be bold and unapologetic in fighting against the right and Trump’s destructive ways.

New York Times’ Michelle Goldberg called Newsom’s interviews with these extremists “a demeaning display of submission.”

 

By contrast, since Trump’s inauguration, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has emerged as a leading voice challenging Trump and the far right's attempts to undermine democracy, equity, and the rights of everyone living in America. 

 

California has long been a beacon of progress, and we need you, Governor Newsom, to be the steadfast champion of these values that you claim to be. Please join Governor Pritzker in standing firm for justice and equity — not in giving more oxygen to those who work against these ideals.

 

Last month Pritzker positioned himself at the forefront of elected officials against Trump by invoking Nazis’ rise to power as a warning about the dangers of Trump and his administration’s onslaught of destructive actions.

 

Sign this petition to urge the Gov. Gavin Newsom to stand up and fight against Trump and MAGA.

“It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic,” Pritzker said.

 

SIGN: Urge the Democratic Party to fight against Trump’s destruction

Sincerely,
Democracy in Color
