[1]Bowman for Congress
John,
Last night, I had the distinct honor of delivering a response to President
Joe Biden's address to Congress on behalf of the Working Families Party.
Now, I wanted to take this moment to share and reiterate some of what we
talked about last night with you.
2020 was a year of unprecedented crisis in America. A global pandemic, an
unprecedented economic collapse, a crisis of police killings of Black
people, a climate crisis, and a crisis of democracy.
But amidst all of this, people stepped up to care for each other. We had
neighbors delivering supplies to people in need. Essential workers risking
their lives to take care of others. We had millions of Americans of every
race rise up in grief to march against the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna
Taylor, and so many others. And it was those same working people who
defeated Trump, elected President Biden, and delivered on a Democratic
Congress to finally put an end to these crises.
But here's the thing,
John: people are still hurting.
Just because we got rid of Donald Trump as our president — and just
because we elected Joe Biden — doesn't mean our problems are gone. Trump
or no Trump, our society is still sick. It is still profoundly unequal and
unjust.
I sincerely believe President Biden wants to make things better. But right
now, he's limiting his proposals to what he thinks Congress can pass —
rather than rethinking what's possible to achieve much-needed change.
Our communities are facing economic devastation. The climate crisis hasn't
gone anywhere. Police violence didn't stop. Our democracy remains under
attack. These aren't problems that will go away with the usual solutions.
That's why, in this historic moment, we must seize the opportunity to
transform our nation into the one we deserve and take drastic action. We
must demand more so we can all thrive, not just survive.

proud to serve in Congress and fight for what we need in order to thrive.
Since day one in Congress, I've always held President Biden accountable to
our demands of change — and I'll always ensure that the progressive
perspective makes it to the White House. If you're with me, please chip in
$3 to support my leadership in Congress. Let's grow our progressive
movement, and keep demanding the change we deserve.
