Elizabeth: We need the principles

Image
Robert, I first met Russ Feingold in the 1990s, back when I was teaching in law school. The big banks and credit card companies were trying to peddle a terrible bankruptcy bill in the Senate, and I was looking for help to stop it. It's not always easy to find people willing to stand up to big financial companies in Washington. Looking back, I imagine Russ probably could have used the hefty campaign contributions he would have gotten from the banking industry if he had ignored my calls. But that didn't matter to Russ. Even when the odds were against us, Russ joined the fight to stop that terrible bill -- and he didn't just passively sign on; he threw himself into the fight with energy and enthusiasm. He did it because it was the right thing to do. When Russ Feingold started Progressives United four years ago, I knew he'd keep taking on the big fights. So it's no surprise that today, Progressives United is one of the strongest grassroots organizations we ...

Hillary: Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization

Image
        Black Independent Party -- When my friend Howard Dean and I first talked about forming a new organization, it was because we were blown away by the energy and commitment shown by activists -- new and old -- in the aftermath of the 2016 election. We asked ourselves: What can we do to help them? Onward Together was formed as a way to support and connect the groups that are doing the work that absolutely needs to be done right now -- from mobilizing voters to encouraging and training new activists to recruiting people who are ready to run for office themselves. In 2017, we partnered with 11 organizations headed up by by smart, passionate leaders. We offer funding and strategic advice, and connect them with resources.  And this spring, we finally had a chance to bring those leaders together in one place, and it was really something special. Take a moment to watch the video we've made celebrating our first Onward Together convening. The leaders who...

Guy Cecil: Republicans are dead wrong on this

Image
BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans are pushing the Blunt Amendment, a radical piece of legislation that would cannibalize health care reform by letting any employer deny any part of your heath care coverage due to “moral convictions.” Robert, this goes way beyond taking away birth control coverage. An employer could decide that they couldn’t shell out the money necessary for your expensive cancer treatment because of their "moral convictions," and you’d be out of luck. Their goal isn’t just to end contraception coverage. Their goal is to implode our entire health care system and strike a deadly blow to President Obama’s historic health care reform. Republicans are going to try to bring this to a vote as early as today. Before the vote, I need you and 49,999 other people who value health care reform to take a strong stand against the Blunt Amendment. Sign our petition, and stand strong against the Blunt Amendment. Employers shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose our h...

It's crunch time.

Image
robert, Congress just got back from their annual summer vacation -- but Mitch McConnell's Republican Party sure didn't take a single day off from their attacks on women and families.  They've come after Alison Lundergan Grimes with sexist attacks on her qualifications. They've shuffled their election dates in Georgia to try to come up with a less absurd challenger to Michelle Nunn. It's been a crazy couple months, but we can't dwell on the negative -- because  we've had an amazing response from all of you in the last several weeks! You've put our women candidates like Alison and Michelle in a great place with thousands and thousands of contributions. You've supported EMILY's List in unprecedented numbers. We're on the path to victory over McConnell's GOP and all their anti-woman tactics.  But even when we're doing well, we can't take a break. So keep up the fight now and take ...

Marianne: Yeah, but she could never beat Donald Trump

Image
Dear Black Independent, At first, I was told I could never get my foot in the door; I could never be considered a real contender. Then we proved them wrong, as we have double-qualified for the DNC debates later this month. And now they’re saying, “Yeah, but she could never beat Donald Trump.” I’m writing to tell you why I think I’m the  best person to beat Donald Trump. This is a critical moment in America history, and I’m not running for president to waste anyone’s time or mess with their emotions. I’m running because I think that if I'm the Democratic nominee, I will win. And if I win, then together we will change America. Donald Trump — regardless of whether or not you agree with any of his policies — has introduced a mean-spiritedness into our politics that is literally corrosive to our democracy. It assaults the moral fabric of our nation. It shows disrespect for American values. And that must not be allowed to stand. Trump has succeeded in doing those thi...

Chris: Kennedy Family Values

Image
Robert, My uncle once wrote in a Presidential Executive Order that government contractors should  “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.”  He recognized the institutional and cultural barriers that many minorities faced at the time when trying to obtain employment, and how those barriers affected their upward mobility.  Today, President Trump and Jeff Sessions are attacking affirmative action and falsely alleging that these policies that work to help disadvantaged students discriminate against white students.    That is ridiculous. Trump’s false narrative is a slap in the face to higher education and students.   The university systems still greatly favor wealthy students. We see that plainly with the revelation that Trump’s son-in-law was able to attend an Ivy League university because his family ha...

Chuck: sides with corporations over workers.

Image
Robert, He sides with corporations over workers. He thinks employers should be able to decide whether or not a woman has access to abortion. He was nominated by someone whose campaign is currently under FBI investigation. And Republicans think we'll just let them appoint him to the highest court in the nation.  They're wrong. That's why I'm saying it loud and clear: If he can't get 60 votes he shouldn't be confirmed. A confirmation vote could be held soon -- and I need to know we have all the power we need behind us to stop Judge Gorsuch with everything we have. Join the opposition against this extreme nominee today and show you've got Democrats' backs in stopping this dangerous choice! If he cannot earn 60 votes after refusing to answer question after question after question with any substance, he should not be confirmed by the Senate. This is not the time to be silent -- resisting this administration means pulling out all the st...
