The Death Penalty must go. John, Did you see our email yesterday? The death penalty is immoral, cruel, and downright racist. And we are not going to stop until it’s abolished. It’s not going to be an easy fight, but with your support, we can make it happen. The death penalty must be …

Abolish the Death Penalty NOW.

Your voice will make a difference. John, The death penalty is indefensible. Since 1973, 173 people who were wrongly convicted and sentenced to death were exonerated. Over 50% of them were Black. States exhaust millions of taxpayer dollars on the death penalty — when that money could …

They believe in nothing, Lebowski

Let’s kick them out of office. John, Trump’s second impeachment trial isn’t only about him, it’s also about the future of the Republican party. It’s about their shameless support of a liar and seditionist who tried to tear down our democracy. After Trump’s impeachment lawyers offered …

The GOP game plan: cover their eyes and ears.

It’s time for accountability. John, Last month, Trump became the first president in the nation’s history to be impeached twice. Now, he should be just a few days away from being convicted in the Senate. But the GOP doesn’t care about facts, or our democracy, or the rule of law. Republi…

The clock is ticking. John — Did you catch our email about Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package? We’re one step closer to getting meaningful relief in the hands of working people and families. Except the GOP is standing in our way. Don’t let them. Pitch in $15 or what you can to…

It’s happening. John — On Tuesday, Senate Democrats voted to take the first step forward on Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. But not one Republican voted for the Covid relief package. Not one. Instead, they’re offering a watered-down counterproposal that does not do nea…

Show them no mercy. John, The GOP loves nothing more than crying foul when things don’t go their way. They’re labeling Trump’s impeachment trial as “unconstitutional,” a “sham,” and a “danger to democracy” — meanwhile, 45 Republican senators voted in favor of Sen. Rand Paul's motion t…

GOP: Covid relief? Never heard of it.

How much longer do we have to wait? John, The American people are hurting. Badly. The U.S. surpassed 400,000 Covid deaths this month. Women accounted for 100% of the 140,000 jobs shed in December. Thousands of small businesses are on the cusp of closing. Meanwhile, Biden's $1.9 trill…
