John,

The disaster suffered in East Palestine, Ohio, caused by the toxic train derailment is a parable about modern America. Look no further than this:

Norfolk Southern rail disaster

Republican Donald Trump gutted the regulation that could've prevented the tragedy from happeningbecause Republicans worry more about large corporations making an extra billion than the basic needs of regular people.

GOP Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, refuses to call a state emergency to receive extra federal resources because, well...I have no idea. He's a multi-millionaire. He's been in government nearly every year since the 1980s. Maybe he's just given up caring.

Meanwhile, Senator Sherrod Brown, who we remind you has a difficult reelection ahead in 2024, Is A Leader:

Sherrod Brown on East Palestine

Senator Brown isn't just on the scene when there's a disaster. He's argued against corporate power and monopolies, and fought for raising wages, improving worker benefits and strengthening unions for years. 

Can you join us in this moment, as we're reminded of Senator Brown's importance, in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to reelect him?

 

 

Senator Brown isn't just the best Ohio has to offer, he's one of the most dedicated, empathetic and effective Senators in the entire Senate. We need Sen. Brown in Washington to fight these fights--to regulate corporate power in the aftermath of East Palestine. You can be sure Trump, DeSantis, McConnell, McCarthy and DeWine won't do a damn thing.

Can you join us in this moment, as we're reminded of Senator Brown's importance, in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to reelect him?

Thank you for standing up for all Americans,

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
