A word from our founder: There’s no point sugar coating this. It sucks. A lot. Yesterday was a massive failure of our system and of our leaders. But this was never a fight we were supposed to have a shot at winning. Winning this meant relying on the basic human decency of people who have reminded us repeatedly that they have none. Exactly 30 days from today however, we have the chance to replace those people with leaders who will actually stand up for what they know is right and represent all Americans — not just the wealthy few. Now is not the time back down, it’s time to double down. So take a moment to volunteer to do your part to flip Congress, fire the cowards who got us here, and begin to put this dark chapter behind us. The future remains in our hands. November is coming.
