The article then concludes in chilling fashion: “In the tapes, Mitchell also disparaged the Democrats’ recent warnings about threats to democracy.
‘They bring democracy to your doorstep. I wanna pause right here. We don’t live in a democracy,’ Mitchell said, to a round of applause from the crowd. ‘But to the left, everything is about democracy, the democracy fund, the democracy this, the democracy that.’”
The New Pennsylvania Project is expanding our democracy in Pennsylvania by expanding our electorate to include the “New American Majority” — people of color, the youth and single women under 35 years old. Our work is critical to having a state government that not only works for ALL of us but looks like ALL of us. We are centering communities that have been historically disenfranchised and left out of the democratic process including communities of color, immigrant communities and the youth, and empowering these communities to be civically engaged and make their voices heard in every election, twice a year.
There are people who do not want to see this work be done including the right-wing extremists mentioned in the article above.
But, nevertheless, we persist.
