Dear MoveOn member,
Wow! Thank a Georgia organizer today! Mitch McConnell's reign of terror as
Senate majority leader is most likely finally over. Moreover, the victory
of Senator-elect Raphael Warnock and the predicted victory of Jon Ossoff
have proven a key point: When we mobilize for candidates and policies that
materially improve people's lives, we can win—even in a battleground state
like Georgia.
Now, it's up to the likely new majority leader, Senator Schumer, and the
almost-assured new Democratic majority to deliver the transformative
solutions that build an America that works for all of us. We worked so
hard for this electoral victory, and now we must finish the job we
started.
Will you call Senator Schumer now to declare that the voters have spoken
again and we need him to lead the Democrats to deliver big, bold solutions
to address the multiple crises we face, from the coronavirus pandemic to
the economic crisis to climate change to racial justice?
Here's where to call:
* Sen. Schumer - (202) 224-6542

Now is no time to be timid. We need bold, immediate action.
President-elect Biden said it best on the campaign trail: "If I have the
honor of being elected president, we're not just going to tinker around
the edges. We're going to make historic investments that will seize the
opportunity and meet this moment in history. We're going to get to work
delivering results right away on day one."
And the results in Georgia proved that voters are hungry for
transformative solutions: Warnock and Ossoff campaigned on $2,000 stimulus
checks for working people, a public option for health care, and boldly
tackling the climate crisis—and it's likely both won their respective
elections.
Now, delivering the big and bold changes needed to meet our current
challenges is possible with the projected victories in both Georgia Senate
run-off elections, delivering a Democratic majority, but it will take all
of us to achieve these changes. We can't lose a single vote, with the
Senate split 50/50 and Vice President-elect Harris holding the
tie-breaking vote. In order for any legislation to pass to deliver the
relief people desperately need, every single Democrat needs to be aligned.
And to be clear, this Democratic majority would be even larger without the
regressive structure of the Senate—so Senate Democrats need to know they
are acting on behalf of a national mandate, just as President-elect Biden
is with his historic vote totals and 7-million-vote margin.
There is not a moment to spare. Please call Senator Schumer now to ensure
he knows we're all counting on him to use the power of the majority to
pass big, bold solutions that provide direct relief and transform our
institutions to support all communities, not just the wealthy few.
Here's where to call:
* Sen. Schumer - (202) 224-6542

MoveOn members have spent the last four years fighting back against
relentless attacks and building broad public support for policies that
will go beyond reversing Trump's destruction by expanding access to
fundamental rights and benefits—including things like health care for all
and creating a pathway to citizenship—to all people. Our wins together,
from saving the Affordable Care Act to winning the House in 2018, have all
built on each other. Now, we have a narrow window to pass legislation
before the next election begins in earnest, and Senator Schumer must be
prepared to deliver starting on day one. And we must let him know millions
of us will have his back when he acts, but we'll hold him accountable if
he is too timid or cautious.
Call Sen. Schumer today so he and the Democrats are ready on January 20 to
start providing real relief and passing long-term solutions to create an
America that works for everyone.
Thanks for all you do.
