Thank You Progressive Activist
Jump to today’s actions:
Background
It’s not over. Millions of ballots are yet to be counted and recounted. As Joe Biden said: “It ain’t over till every vote is counted.”
The critical job now is to ensure exactly that. Rallies and protests are already underway in many states.
Only a legitimate vote tally will allow the country to move ahead peacefully.
Even before the counting is finished, one result is clear: Thousands of newly mobilized, Progressive activists had an enormous impact turning out the vote and pushing for candidates and ballot measures.
It will take time to quantify the impact. But this election season, we sent millions of letters and texts, and called hundreds of thousands of voters.
We are now a proven, battle harden match for the armed, well-funded dividers.
This movement is strengthening, fed by young people concerned about school shootings, racial justice, economic opportunities and climate chaos. They turned out in massive numbers.
Yes, the election results reveal we are a flawed country. But, together, we can make America better. The fight ahead is hard but the future is worth it.
Thank you for all your work. Take a break. A short one. Then join us in action to build back better.
