John:
It's undeniable that our movement is fighting an ongoing battle.
Advocating for the needs of communities like ours — communities that have been left behind by conservatives in both parties — is no simple task.
Just take the last week for example. The media and the establishment spent days obsessing over what may or may not be spy balloons, and cheering a military response. All the while, communities on the ground in Ohio were reeling from a massive chemical spill from a railroad derailment, and it got almost no attention or immediate support from those in charge.
It's plain where the priorities of the establishment are — on the side of big corporations and the military-industrial complex. That's why it's so important that we have advocates in Congress fighting for the needs of everyday people and against corporate greed.
We've got to invest in our infrastructure, shore up protections for workers, and push back against the monopolization that's letting powerful companies like Norfolk Southern brazenly pollute at-risk communities.
But powerful interests are lined up against us. Our movement will only succeed if we're able to come together and grow the power of progressive voices in Congress like Jamaal. Change is incremental, but that's our best shot at making progress.
Thank you,
Team Bowman
