Mississippi Democrats are currently in the midst of an extremely close Governor’s race in Mississippi. They are asking for our support. While you may not reside in our state, your help can still make a significant impact on our mission to bring positive change to Mississippi.

Please help keep our government running. Let your representatives know you don’t support a government shutdown. You can use the sample letters, one for republican representatives and one for Democrats, or write your own text.

Democrats Abroad stand in firm solidarity with the dedicated members of the United Auto Workers (UAW), Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), and the Writers Guild of America (WGA), who are currently on strike. These brave individuals, spanning various industries, have taken a courageous stance to demand fair wages, safe working conditions, and essential benefits vital to their livelihoods and the broader principles of economic justice and workers' rights.

The fires are still burning, floods continue unabated, ocean temperatures have risen to 38C, whales are beaching themselves, and human lives are lost and threatened, while the world experienced the hottest June and July in history. As we grapple with these shocking images, the demand for fossil fuels has not yet reached its peak. As a global society, we are literally fueling the fires that are killing us.

Please contact your member of Congress and ask them to sign the Discharge Petition in support of HJ Res 25 that affirms the ERA as a valid constitutional amendment, regardless of any time limit that was in the original proposal.

This weekend, in the town of Seneca Falls, New York, widely recognized as the birthplace of American feminism, we honor two significant anniversaries. We commemorate the 175th anniversary of the first women's rights convention and the 100th anniversary of introducing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). On this occasion, we reflect on how far we have come for gender equality and how much further we need to go to build a fair and inclusive society.

On June 29, 2023, the United States Supreme Court struck down race-conscious admissions policies at U.S. universities. Driven by a conservative supermajority, the Supreme Court overturned decades of precedent to deal a devastating blow to diversity on our college campuses. Race-based affirmative action is a long-standing mechanism to address social inequities and discrimination against people of color. The ruling in the cases against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina not only impacts students and communities of color directly. It robs America of future generations of business, civic, and community leaders trained at its best institutions.

On June 30th, the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness program was a blow to as many as 43 million people burdened by overwhelming student debt. This ruling raises concerns about the court's impartiality and its commitment to representing the interests of all. The six-member conservative majority on the bench decided, instead, to prioritize their extremist ideological agenda and sidelined the needs of those who are struggling to repay their student loans. We sadly witnessed first-hand the blatant favoritism of justices like Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who have close ties to billionaire GOP donors, and their disregard for the financial plight of millions of students. This completely undermines the legitimacy of the Supreme Court and weathers away any public trust left in the institution and its supposed ability to protect the rights and well-being of the average citizen.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a decision that shook the foundations of our nation and forever altered the landscape of women's healthcare. As the leader of the Democrats Abroad Global Women’s Caucus, I understand that this issue has never been about saving unborn babies, or even about controlling women. It’s about controlling all aspects of society. The admitted goal of the authoritarians who knocked down Roe a year ago is to roll back a generation of progress in civil rights across the board. We’ve watched it happening with book banning, increased voter suppression, outrageous new anti-LGBT legislation, and more.
