    There is still much progress to be made, but today I'm reflecting on and celebrating the successes of the last year, particularly the American Rescue Plan & Infrastructure and Jobs Act that've set us on a path to rise together as Americans. Thank you Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

    🚨 🚨 NEW WHITEBOARD: what do we do after yesterday? A ton. Right now. Most of the work we need to do to save democracy doesn’t involve US Senators. It involves every one of us. But we must reframe the battle, then get to work within that new frame. Here’s how:

    As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must pledge to each other and for each other we will put in the work, not just with platitudes on holidays, but by protecting the right to vote, eliminating injustices many still face, and creating a more beloved community.

    This is what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said about the filibuster back in 1963 and it couldn't be more relevant today. This , we demand Congress honor Dr. King's legacy by ending the racist filibuster and passing voting rights legislation.

    Trump wants to install loyalists in local office who will cheat. It’s a coup being organized in plain sight. I’m giving Run for Something five thousand bucks today, because they recruit and support pro democracy candidates. Can you please help? Thank you.

    My grandparents taught me some of my most valuable lessons growing up, especially when it comes to standing up for what’s right. Let’s pass meaningful voting rights legislation so my children and future generations will not have to pass this burden on.
