Before Donald Trump, Americans leaders would address the United Nations with words about justice, collaboration, and hope for the future. We would set the course — a global agenda — towards international peace, economic development, humanitarian relief, and our unifying cause of leaving this world a better place than we found it.

The United Nations is a tool. One that be used to help open doors between nations, foster competitive but not adversarial spirit, and face the greatest challenges of human civilization by working together.

That’s why it pains me to see Donald Trump squander the international leadership and spirit of community that has created so much good in the world. Yes, the United Nations is not perfect — but it and our international community is undeserving of the complete disregard and brazen disdain that Trump openly displays while representing us all.

When Trump fails, we must rise. In the absence of his international leadership, we cannot allow chaos to fill that void — that’s why I’m forging ahead to build a bipartisan coalition to maintain the values of international peace.

Will you help me build that movement with a small donation of $3 today? Anything you can spare helps us mobilize support for the policies and ideals that can bring all of us together, not tear others down.

Trump had the entire leadership of the free world in one room. Just imagine the issues that you would talk about in that context — averting climate change, ending these endless wars, solving world hunger, investment to create jobs for all, steps to deliver health care to those who need it most, the list is nearly endless.

Instead, Trump attacked Iran. He questioned the power of global coalitions and alliances. He used his platform to boost a message that functionally demanded every nation look after themselves first, and the world second.

When Trump leaves office by 2020, we’ll have a lot of work to do to repair our international leadership — and to restore the global efforts towards building a future that is better for our children. And the best time to start is right now.

In solidarity,
