Tomorrow is a new day for America. The list of urgent actions is packed. The most crucial is Biden’s Covid response plan. But as we dig out of the Trump era, we cannot leave unattended the vulnerabilities that nearly toppled our democracy.  Our progressive agenda reinforces democracy. 

Today we remember MLK's legacy and celebrate hope -- hope that, working together in service to our shared community, we can move forward with new leadership to create a more racially, economically, and environmentally just society. Join us in a day of service (in-person or remote), a week celebrating hope, and our on-going advocacy for justice.

The voters delivered a slim trifecta to Democrats. Making good on the winners’ legislative promises is possible only if the Senate ends the filibuster. Democrats need only 51 votes and some parliamentary maneuvering.

Amid a global pandemic and under the siege of a fascist president and Republican party, we organized and voted in a democratic President, Vice President, House, and Senate.   We organized to fight back against white supremacy, fascism, Trump, and his GOP.  Now we must work to help Congress protect our democracy and protect us from COVID.  

The city of Washington was, and is, endangered by violent white supremacists.  Last week, unlike state governors, Mayor Bowser was forced to plead with the Pentagon to use DC’s own National Guard to defend the Capitol.  Republicans oppose statehood for the same reason they support gerrymandering.   It’s voter suppression of American citizens in a largely Black city.  And it’s a willingness to leave that city vulnerable to violence in order to maintain that suppression.

Today we are asking Congress to remove the seditionists, including more than 100 House Republicans; fight voter suppression ; and root out police racism. Details below.

Georgia’s election of two Democratic Senators yesterday should have been a time for celebrating. Instead, we saw a Trump-incited attempted coup abetted by GOP co-conspirators—by a rioting mob of white supremacist terrorists and by members of Congress—both trying to overturn the election.
