John,
As the sun rose today, I felt a stillness in the air that I haven’t felt in months. We’ve been working so hard for so long, it feels unfamiliar to be in this state of waiting, of patience—dare I even say calm.
We’ve prepared for this moment. We have a plan, and we’re already getting ready for what comes next. Join us tonight at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific to be first to know next steps and our outlook on the next few weeks.
I’m feeling confident. We organized the hell out of this election. With all of our phone banks, texting, postcards, and friend-to-friend outreach we reached over 3.5 million young voters. Poll after poll in this election cycle showed an unprecedented agreement that Americans want aggressive action on climate change. We pushed Biden to make climate a central component of his campaign, and it paid off—support from young voters skyrocketed.
We have transformed the conversation on climate and helped encourage the largest voting turnout this country has ever seen. Americans from all corners of life, across race and zip code, showed up in record-breaking numbers to stand with and for each other.
The people have spoken. We are on track to swear in leaders chosen by and for all of us. Trump can say what he wants—at the end of the day, power belongs to the people, and each one of the tens of millions of votes that officials are still hard at work counting moves us ever closer to the inevitable. And we are ready to take action to make sure that stays true—more on that tonight.
I am so honored to be in this movement with all of you. Thank you for being such a shining example for what movements can be—the care with which we embrace each other, the passion with which we push each other, the standard of accountability to which we hold each other. Thank you for sticking together through the highs and lows of this year. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for making this a movement to be proud of.
The finish line is in sight and we are going to continue to make sure that every single vote is counted on our way there. Make sure you don’t miss our call tonight so you can be prepared for next steps. Click here to save your spot.
See you then,
Varshini
P.S. — You'll see tonight that we've got big plans for whatever happens next, and those plans could use some support over the next few months. Can you make a monthly contribution to ensure we can show up strong when the time comes?
