The Stakes: Flipping The House, Retaining The Senate, and Electing Harris-Walz
A federal Democratic trifecta, with a Sineanchin-less Senate majority, will be prepared to end the Jim Crow filibuster and pass the structural change needed to end our political crisis, and expand the safety net that Frances Perkins (witness of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and eventual US Secretary of Labor) started. We have under 70 days to find every vote we can to enact our agenda:
- Checking the corruption of the Supreme Court, addressing their lawless decisions in recent decisions like Dobbs, Shelby County, Rucho, Loper Bright Enterprises, and Trump v. United States.
- Climate action
- Federal protections for reproductive rights and the Equality Act
- A global deal to tax billionaires
- Gun control
- DC statehood
- Federal voting rights, clean-elections laws, an end to partisan gerrymandering
- The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which restores the right of workers to form a union and bargain together for workplace changes
- Family policy that will cut child poverty with a refundable expanded child tax credit of up to $3,600 (with $6,000 for newborns), paid leave
- Millions of new units of affordable housing, including $40 billion to jumpstart community land trusts and revolving loan programs for social housing
- Attacks on corporate price-gouging

Your #1 Job Right This Moment
It's vital that you confirm your voter registration immediately.
We have seen unprecedented voter suppression already in this election cycle. Every day, a voter relays a new and terrible story. Between 2020 and 2022, over 19 million voters were purged from the voter rolls. No notification—you're just gone.
