Dear MoveOn member, 

I am a Muslim, immigrant, Pakistani American woman, and I felt such a
profound and deep relief for myself, my family, my community, this
country, and the entire world when the election results were called on
November 7, 2020. I felt my body relax, as if I could finally breathe more
deeply. I was awash in emotion. 

I felt a deep relief because it felt as if all the work that we had done
for four years had finally paid off. 

I felt a sense of respite for all the communities that would feel a bit
safer under a Biden presidency. 

I felt a sense of gratitude wash over me for all the people who voted
despite so many hurdles during this difficult and arduous year. 

I felt a sense of pride because I could look at my immigrant parents and
know that I fought for them and their sacrifices. 

And I felt a sense of possibility because I could finally dream and
imagine the world that we can create together, instead of feeling that all
we could do was reduce the harm to the communities I care about and belong
to. 

These past four years have been tough, and we all saw the joy of so many
as they danced in the streets that day. It was a deep exhalation of relief
and a renewed sense of possibility. 

And so we must rest and relax for a bit, and also we must know that we can
work together and build the world that we want. That work is far from
over.

want this world to be? Start a petition demanding the world that you want
to see. This is our time. This is what we have been fighting for.

Start a petition and advocate for Medicare for All, for the Green New
Deal, for a $15 national minimum wage. Organize your community to get more
school funding, pass sanctuary policies to protect immigrants, or hold the
police department accountable. This is our time to set the agenda for the
next four years and rebuild this country after what has been a tumultuous
and difficult time for so many. 

We can dream again, we can take a deep sigh of relief, and we can show up
and build a world that is equitable, just, and focused on those who need
that world the most. 

Let’s dream and build that world together. 

[ [link removed] ]Take five minutes and start a petition on here to influence the
direction of your community and country.

Thanks for all you do.
