Let’s be clear:

Democrats now have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Democrats have a mandate from the American people to bring about bold, transformative change.

Democrats have what may be a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver on that mandate.

We could pass transformative policies like a $15 minimum wage to lift millions out of poverty, a Green New Deal to combat the growing threat of the climate crisis, and Medicare for All to make sure no one goes without the healthcare they need.

Canceling student loan debt would mean the tens of millions of people burdened with student debt could finally accomplish dreams like opening a business or starting a family, every child could get universal school meals year-round, and we could make huge progress on dismantling racism in our institutions.

These are the kinds of policies young people organized around in the last election. We can’t afford to stall our progress and repeat the mistakes that lost Democrats the House majority in 2010 and the Senate in 2014.

With Democrats in charge, we’ve got to abolish the filibuster and move legislation that delivers the progress that the American people deserve.

And we must take the lessons we learned from the last election to organize year-round. Our campaign has already talked to 1,000 voters about Medicare for All to lay the groundwork to elect progressive candidates up and down the ballots. Our plan is that no door in Minnesota’s Fifth District goes un-knocked.

We have a long road ahead, but now is not the time to compromise on our shared values. It’s time to fight like we never have before while we still have the opportunity to deliver on the policies workers and families are counting on.

I will never let up in pushing for bold, transformative change. It’s thanks to this grassroots movement that I have the support to keep fighting, no matter what GOP attacks come our way.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
