Of course, if you look around, that news is not surprising to any of us.
We are facing multiple, concurrent crises and the people in leadership do not seem to be up to the task of addressing any of them.
Student debt is still ballooning. Housing prices and rents are skyrocketing. Gas prices are out of control and food prices are worse.
The January 6th hearings are revealing a massive web of criminal conspiracy that includes sitting members of Congress – yet none have been held accountable.
And a rogue Supreme Court is steamrolling our civil rights like a runaway freight train.
There are people in Congress leading with moral clarity right now, who recognize this is a moment of crisis and it demands a crisis response. Those people are our BNC representatives.
AOC, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and others have called on the Senate to abolish the filibuster, and pushed to expand the court. Now they’re calling for justices who lied under oath or overreached their authority to be impeached.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has the audacity to decry the fall of Roe when mere weeks ago she was actively campaigning for an anti-choice Democrat in an election that Jessica Cisneros very nearly won.
The American people are crying out for concrete action, and we must rise to meet this moment.
People think the country is moving in the wrong direction – and they’re right. They think their leadership isn’t doing enough to change that – and they’re right. That’s why Brand New Congress works to send bold, progressive fighters like AOC and Cori to Congress. Will you make a contribution today to sustain our work?
