All together now: Climate, abortion, voting rights, and gun violence
You know how this story goes.
Our nation is gripped by a crisis that requires an urgent public-policy response. Some of the smartest, most compassionate people in government work hard to find a solution. Then MAGA Republican senators use the secret, silent filibuster to veto that progressive solution in its tracks.
Climate change. Voting rights. Reproductive freedom. And now, gun violence prevention.
This isn't "owning the Republicans". We aren't trying to win for the sake of winning.
This is a fight for our very lives.
Climate disruptions have turned into a full-blown crisis, as rising sea levels and rising temperatures threaten entire ecosystems. Our democracy is backsliding. The rolling-back of abortion rights is a terrifying tyranny over bodily autonomy. And tens of thousands of Americans are gunned down each year.
Politicians in Washington no longer have the luxury of burying their heads in the sand.
We have to act now.
Onward,
Jeff
