Envision a world in which Alexandria is not re-elected to Congress — or worse yet, was never elected in the first place...
Sorry for the scary image, but it’s almost October after all. 🎃
In this world, the Green New Deal doesn’t fundamentally reshape the national conversation around climate change. The $2 billion National FEMA Funeral Assistance Program isn’t created, leaving thousands of families of COVID-19 victims without help to bury their loved ones. Michael Cohen isn’t asked during his congressional testimony about Trump’s history of inflating his assets — and last week’s lawsuit from the Attorney General against the Trump family for fraud doesn’t happen. The list could go on…
Spelling it out like this makes you appreciate just how crucial AOC’s voice has become in Congress and to the national political conversation.
But we’re a democracy, and no elected representative is entitled to their seat. Every two years, Congresspeople have to run their campaigns and secure votes from the constituents who trust them — even the popular ones. AOC is no exception and takes this renewal of trust very seriously.
As we wrap up this quarter of the year and move towards the start of a third term, it’s important to reflect on how far we’ve come and how grateful we are to the mass movement that has taken up this work to fight for an equitable future. But that work never ends — so we must stay vigilant and continually renew our commitment the same way Alexandria does.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
