Tell Democrats: Pass A Clean Debt Ceiling Deal

ICYMI, the U.S. could default on its debt on June 1st.   What does that actually mean? If the U.S. does not raise the debt ceiling before June 1, we could face stock market collapse, rise in unemployment, and a global financial crisis. What’s holding it up? Right now, Joe Manchin and Republi…

Ban Fossil Fuels Not Books

John, Right-wing extremists, like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, are abusing their power and infiltrating our schools and communities to push their fascist agenda.  They’re banning books, bullying trans students, and appointing unqualified candidates to school boards — and that’s just the tip…

The GOP’s plan to silence young voters

They’re terrified we’re going to vote them into extinction. John, In 2022, our movement secured Democratic control of the Senate, won three critical races in Pennsylvania, defended every member of the Squad, elected two new progressives to Congress, and turned young voters out in 15 key stat…

This is the fight of our lives. Happy Earth Day, John! 🌍 This is a bittersweet and conflicting holiday, and it even feels kinda weird to celebrate at all today, but here’s where we’re coming from. We’ve faced HUGE odds in the past year and our generation continues to step up again and again. …

Not your average Earth Week

John— let’s talk about “Earth Week…” Every Earth Week, the world’s largest polluters blast us with messages telling us to go outside and have a picnic to celebrate, or telling us that all it takes is a metal straw to save our planet. It’s either giving complete climate denial or one big dive…
