I stood on the steps of the Capitol this past weekend to make it clear that what we’re witnessing in our government is not just another policy debate. This is a defining moment for our democracy.

Donald Trump and his allies are plotting the biggest heist in modern political history -- taking from working families and giving to the wealthiest people on the planet. This isn’t a theoretical threat. It’s happening right now.

In just the last few months they’ve pushed massive cuts to Social Security. Now they want to cut Medicaid, food assistance, and other basic services millions of Americans rely on every day.

This isn’t a budgetary issue -- it’s a moral one. 

We must keep sounding the alarm. Public sentiment is powerful and can change the conversation if enough people speak up. Your contributions help us reach more people. If you’re able, please chip in before tonight’s April fundraising deadline.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

It takes a special kind of cruelty to take resources from the sick, the elderly, the disabled, and children -- to make the ultra-rich even richer. But that’s exactly what they’re trying to do.

By Independence Day, they’re aiming to ram through a tax bill that gives billionaires the biggest handout in our nation’s history.

We can stop them -- but it’s going to take all of us. We’re just four Republican votes away in Congress from blocking this fiscal and moral disaster.

We’ve won before -- the fight for the Affordable Care Act proved that. But victories don’t come from standing on the sidelines. They come from organizing, showing up, and refusing to give in.

Democracy isn’t what we have. It’s what we do.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect our democracy. But this fight isn’t won in Congress alone -- it needs public pressure strong enough to break through. That’s where your support makes a real difference. If you’re able, a small contribution helps us raise awareness, mobilize more voices, and make sure the truth gets out. Every bit of support helps in this fight.

Thank you for standing with me. 

Mahalo,
