John — I’ll never sugarcoat things for you. I believe you deserve honesty.

Things are not headed in the right direction right now.

If you’re feeling angry, scared, hopeless, or paralyzed right now — you aren’t alone, John; it’s a strategy being employed against us to make it that much harder to fight back.

Here’s what you can do, John — get involved.  Everyone has a voice that they can use to demand better from our government.

Educate yourself and others. Volunteer on the ground. Take to the streets (peacefully!) to organize a movement in your community and speak out against what’s going on.

You can also donate to emails like this one. Your support fuels the work I’m doing in Congress to fight for working families in Vermont and across the country — and grassroots support is especially important before tomorrow’s FEC deadline.

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

They want our apathy; we can’t give them the satisfaction.

They want us to be disengaged; we can’t give them the satisfaction.

They want us to just give up and let Donald Trump pass his authoritarian agenda without pushback; we can’t give them the satisfaction.

We won’t give them the satisfaction. We’re going to fight, and we’re going to win.

Thanks,

Becca
