We all know there has long been something missing in America’s political conversation. We are inundated with reasons to vote out of fear. This is a platform for our better angels. We are your family, friends, and colleagues—everyday people who want to make a difference. We believe that community includes all of us. That healthy conversations embrace differing opinions. And that shared experiences have the power to heal our divides.
There are good reasons to be worried about this year’s election, but the answer is to show decisively at the ballot box that we choose the party that prioritizes a prosperous middle class, the environment, public education, a fair and equitable society, public security and gun safety, accessible healthcare, humane immigration, and so much more.
Amongst ourselves, we talk about our families who have benefitted from public education. From FHA and SBA loans. We are union members who know that without them there would be no middle class. We talk about our small businesses that we were able to grow because of the Affordable Care Act. We know or are immigrants who are thriving today after losing their country to violence or poverty. We talk about the need to do more about the environment for the health and safety of our children and grandchildren. We know that there’s still a lot to do, but we are not scared and going back isn’t the answer.
