 John, After months denying science, shrugging off masks, and downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic, the inevitable happened: Trump has tested positive for COVID-19. But unlike most people, Trump will have access to top notch medical care, rest, and no worries about the security of his paycheck. He could have taken action to provide that same security to everyone else, and he didn’t. He lied about the seriousness of the virus, he lied about what needed to be done to stop its spread, and he allowed hundreds of thousands of people to die. When it comes to a crisis, Trump will always choose his personal agenda over saving lives. We can’t allow him to keep fumbling over this pandemic, and we certainly don’t want him in the way of our efforts to stop climate change. We must vote him out. Thousands of people are making a difference this election season by dedicating just two hours a week to the Sunrise Victory Squad. If you join us, you can help us reach hundreds of thousands of people with phone calls and postcards. Together, we’ll make sure their votes are counted in this election so Trump and the members of Congress who enable him are kicked out for good. Click here to sign up. We can’t allow him to continue his reign of lies and apathy. Imagine how many deaths could have been prevented:
Our generation has the numbers to completely dominate this election and vote Trump out with a margin wider than he could ever imagine. Movements like ours gain more and more ground each day. We helped almost a quarter of a million people successfully push for a climate mention in the presidential debate this week, and we’re on track to transform the landscape of Congress with Green New Deal champions. Media outlets and campaigns across the country are learning: Young people will be the deciding factor of this election. Trump knows this, and he’s nervous. He’s flailing, trying to cling to power by any means necessary, making threats on the democratic process and anyone who tries to exercise their right to vote. He’s sunk so low as to openly align himself with white supremacists in a last gasp attempt to cobble together any means of support as his own people abandon him left and right. Each person we call, each postcard we send, is one more vote that could tip the scales of this election and remove Donald Trump for good, opening up a pathway for true COVID relief and concrete action against climate change at the start of 2021. We can do this. Naomi |
