Last night at 1am, these posters went up in DC near the Capitol — by independent street artist @AbsurdlyWell, who also makes iconic AOC art.
On Instagram, he wrote, "I love the speaker, but have you visited the camps yet?"
This comes after Pelosi sided with conservative Democrats and passed Trump and Mitch McConnell's border funding bill through the House (with mostly Republican votes).
It gave Trump billions with no strings attached to help the kids and families trapped in dehumanizing camps. Then, Pelosi attacked AOC for standing up for the families -- further playing into the hands of Trump, McConnell, and conservative Democrats!
(When you sign, you can tell us if you'd be willing to hang posters in your community. We'll inform congressional offices and the media of the momentum of this campaign.)
The Washington Post and Intercept report that Pelosi was going to fight Trump, but then caved to conservatives in her caucus -- like Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Elaine Luria (VA), and Abigail Spanberger (VA). She calls these members the "front liners" who are on the front lines of keeping the House majority, ignoring the many progressives who flipped red seats blue and want to defend children.
Our petition asks Pelosi to bring the frontliners to the frontlines! Bring them to the camps.
Politico reported yesterday, "The House speaker urged liberal Democrats not to criticize their centrist colleagues in public."
"Speaking behind closed-doors Wednesday morning, Pelosi also gave an emphatic defense of the moderates in the caucus, according to multiple sources, telling the room that they’re critical to holding the House majority. Pelosi told Democrats not to make the Blue Dog Coalition their targets, but criticize her publicly if they need to go after someone."
Thank you for standing up for humanity.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
