John,
Two years ago exactly, I sat with my democratically elected colleagues in the House while violent rioters stormed the United States Capitol.
Since then, Donald Trump has not been held to account for his many crimes and his encouragement of this violent attack. Hundreds of Republicans up and down the ballot ran on a platform of his Big Lie, all but pledging to help overturn future elections if given the chance.
I remember not knowing that day if I would make it out of our seat of democracy alive, or if our democracy itself would survive. That same danger is still clear and it is still present.
We cannot let the lesson be that you can violently storm our nation’s Capitol, threaten lives, overturn our people’s fundamental rights, and still win.
There was a time not so long ago when many Democrats believed Donald Trump could never win the presidency in America — but he did. We cannot let what we want to be true blind us to what is already happening.
There is no playbook for this moment. But I do believe that we will persevere as long as we’re willing to do the hard work required to protect our democracy.
I will never stop fighting for truth, for accountability, and for our democracy — and neither will Democrats. Our Progressive Caucus is united against these extremist fearmongers.
There’s a reason why I have dedicated so much time and energy to supporting powerful, popular progressives who will bring much-needed energy and new perspectives to Congress. It is our job to give our communities something to believe in — to believe that we will not stand down, but fight back, and win.
We must work harder, think smarter, and strategize for the long-term. I am proud to lead our Progressive Caucus and fight to protect our democracy in the halls of Congress. If you want to help us stay organized against these extremist Republicans — please chip in $3 or any amount today.
In solidarity,
Pramila
