Massive threats require a massive response and a bold vision for the future.

Movement family,

As we face massive threats from a White House that means harm to all of our communities, this is not the time to shrink ourselves. This is not the time to play small. This is not the time to moderate our aspirations.

This is the moment to grow our movement — to assemble the people-power we need to build fierce public opposition to this cruel Administration and its callous allies.

So I will keep working to stop the policy violence they inflict upon our people as they make families hungrier, poorer, sicker, and less safe. I will continue holding the line against their attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, Black and brown folks, federal workers, and our immigrant neighbors.

But as Democrats, we can’t just talk about what we’re against. We’ve got to be for something. And that something must be bold enough to make voters actually believe that a better world is possible.

To earn power, we must show that we know how to use it.

I’m pushing for the bold, meaningful policies that will actually meet the moment, tackle the affordability crisis, and address the threats we face. That means recognizing healthcare, housing, and food as human rights. Making it possible for families to afford childcare. Ending the pushout of Black women from the workforce. Protecting and expanding abortion access.

These are the policies that would save lives and protect our most vulnerable. So as we head into the 2026 midterm election year, I will keep pushing for our Democratic Party to embrace this bold agenda. We are a big-tent party that wins when we fight for the people — when we fight to make life affordable.

And I will play an active role in helping Democrats win the House and Senate so we can put these plans into place — traveling across the country to mobilize volunteers, rally voters, and help elect candidates who understand the stakes of this moment.

To power this work, we’ll keep counting on small-dollar, grassroots support. If you can, please help kick off our new re-election campaign with a donation of any amount, and help show broad support for our transformative vision.

I feel a deep and abiding hope to keep defending our communities and governing like lives depend on it — because they do.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
