Liberals and progressives have been energized since the election of Donald Trump. There have been many actions in response. The day of his inauguration protesters were arrested (corralled?) and are now facing jail time. The Women’s March. The March for Science. The anti health care repeal and/Trumpcare vote. There are many others that have enabled people to express their anxiety and anger. I have participated in many of these and will continue to do so. But they have had no effect on the actions of the Republican Congress and Trump. The assault on women’s rights, science, voting rights, the health of children and the rest of the American populace, etc, etc. has been non-stop and will continue unabated while the Republicans are in control. There is only one way to stem this tide.
Get out the vote!!!
Progress has been made. The 2017 progressive wins around the country were impressive. This needs to continue. The way to do this is to mobilize those who have been active in these activities since Trump took office to engage in a coordinated effort to get Democratic and Independent voters to the polls. That is what wins elections. It must be done in every race from Library boards to school district boards, town council members, local mayors and through state and national congresspeople and senators.
This is the only way things will change. We have to make sure people vote. I would love for the Kos community to work together to get this done. I look forward to your ideas and plans.
