John,
Last weekend, we hosted town halls in Philadelphia, Richmond, and Baltimore.
A woman spoke about how much progress she’s seen in her lifetime—on civil rights, social rights, and reproductive freedom—and how afraid she is that it’s all being rolled back.
A recent college graduate talked about the businesses closing in her hometown. Roads falling apart. Jobs gone. She’s doing everything right, and still wonders if there’s any future for her or her generation there.
A man told us how he’s spent hours speaking to Senators and Representatives—doing everything he can to sound the alarm on the current administration’s attacks on our democracy. And he’s not done. He’s fired up to keep going.
It’s people showing up for each other, having hard conversations, and asking the urgent questions: how do we pull ourselves out of the deep trouble we’re in and replace it with something far better?
We also give people the chance to take action, volunteering for local groups who are registering and organizing on the ground. It’s an important step in building the power we need to win.
But none of this happens unless we’re there—in person, face to face, across party lines and zip codes.
We’re doing the work now—because we can’t afford to sit this one out.
Let’s keep showing up for each other.

P.S. We’ll be in Texas for more events in Tarrant County and Abilene, and we’d love for you to join. Sign up to reserve your spot.
