Hi friend,
I want to take a moment to share with you what is keeping me going, and
why the work we’re doing at Win the Era matters. I am so grateful for your
support and everything you make possible, and I hope this note comes as a
reminder of what is on the line as we continue our efforts.
The dynamics of our moment have come down to this: Donald Trump and his
allies want you to believe your voice doesn’t count. They create a
bewildering wall of bad news, through a combination of petty insults and
major abuses of power. The goal is to create a discouraged electorate that
is easier to control. But the essence of America, through all of our
better and worse moments, has to do with the fact that the will of the
people always matters most. And just as importantly, a growing majority of
Americans wants to see something different.
This is why I’m making plans to spend the weeks and months ahead traveling
to communities across the country – supporting candidates in tough and
important races, engaging in the conversations too many others shy away
from, and showing up in communities that Washington overlooks.
On the ground, I spend time with the people who refuse to be discouraged,
who refuse to give up – teachers, organizers, small-business owners, and
first-time candidates stepping forward because they believe their
communities deserve better. Win the Era exists to be a wind at the back of
those leaders and citizens, modeling a style of politics that empowers
them at this vital moment.
We have seen Trump and his allies try to write the American people out of
our own political processes, most nakedly in the case of the redistricting
efforts that would have elections be decided, in advance, by mapmakers
instead of voters. But even conservative voters are making clear that this
is not how we should be doing things in America, the world’s most
important democracy.
And we have a chance to demonstrate, in this season, that our power is not
so easily drowned out by the shock and awe of an abusive and increasingly
unpopular administration. I draw hope and energy from seeing just how many
people are using their voices, their social networks, their small
individual donations, and their simple power as citizens to demand a
better future for our country.
