Republicans are making a foolish mistake by saying they think that making investments in housing and energy are so-called 'Democrat priorities.'
Cutting the EPA as a 'Democrat priority.' Do you know what this country looked like before the EPA?
Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations poisoning the people who lived in those areas. Poor, middle-class communities getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations — like Deloitte and 3M — pouring chemicals into these places.
Well, you know what?
You're damn well right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned by identifying dangerous chemicals that are being dumped and causing cancer in people without their knowledge.
You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing, and mortages, and rent.
And you're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to raise the minimum wage in this country to allow people to get a fair shot at the American dream.
If they want to say that's a 'Democratic priority' — they're right. And they are targeting all of us with this.
And it's important for us to remember that these priorities are actually not partisan at all.
They think all of this is about hurting Democrats — but what they are doing is choosing to hurt Americans.
We cannot allow it. Our movement will have to push back harder than ever.
Stand with us in the fight by making a grassroots contribution today.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
