John,
I want to take a moment to think about just how far we’ve come, and just how powerful our progressive movement is — a movement that wouldn’t exist without people like you.
But first, can you chip in $3 to keep our momentum going?
When I ran for Congress six years ago, I was one of just four members of Congress who refused corporate PAC money. Today, over 70 members reject corporate PAC donations.
More than a decade ago, fast food workers courageously launched the Fight for $15 — two years later, Seattle became the first major city in the country to pass a $15 minimum wage. Today, it is a mainstream Democratic position and even Republican-held states are passing ballot initiatives for a $15 minimum wage.
Nine years ago, when economist Thomas Piketty advocated for a wealth tax, few thought it was possible. Now we’ve finally passed a minimum corporate tax and we’re getting ever closer to passing a wealth tax here state-side and federally.
Five years ago, the idea of canceling student debt was seen as radical and impossible. Now, the President of the United States has canceled some or all student debt for 33 million people and identified it as a step toward racial justice.
That’s how I know our movement’s work matters and our bold, progressive ideas are winning.
This is our movement for justice. You are our movement for justice. And as difficult as these times are, I promise you our strength emerges in times of crisis. These are the moments that offer the possibility of enormous transformation. Now is the time for all of us to recommit to who we are and what we stand for.
And with insurrectionists serving in Congress and the Big Lie still being pushed by extreme MAGA Republicans — endangering our very democracy — it’s up to us to fight for what’s right and never surrender. The stakes are too high to disengage or be cynical or hopeless.
Every time the odds are stacked against us, we rise up, we work hard, we organize, and we deliver. That’s what our progressive movement is all about. We don’t just dream of a more just, equal America, we deliver it.
Thank you for everything you do for our movement, and for all that we will do together in the future.
In solidarity,
Pramila
