Representative Seth Moulton is leading an effort by #FiveWhiteGuys to undermine Nancy Pelosi's bid for Speaker of the House. At a time when Democrats need to be united in their opposition to Trump's agenda, he is trying to divide us and move us to the right.
When Moulton calls for new leadership to focus on the needs of "working families", he is really saying that Dems need to move away from "identity politics" to court Trump voters. Moulton often says that Democrats are currently "out of touch" with America, implying that "real Americans" are white, straight and male. He doesn't grasp that Americans sent a clear message a few weeks ago that we want women & people of color leading.
After everything women in this country have endured these past three years, after we have worked so hard to take back Congress, we will not tolerate this attack on the most powerful and accomplished female legislator this country has seen.
Nancy Pelosi has committed to placing Progressive Caucus members—including newly elected members—on the most powerful committees in the House. This is a far better deal for Progressives than anything Seth Moulton and his fellow centrists are offering.
The Congressional Progressive caucus, the majority of the Congressional Black Caucus, labor unions and organizations like Move On, Indivisible, NARAL, and HRC are backing Nancy for Speaker.
Please attend this townhall and send Seth Moulton a clear message that you are standing with Nancy Pelosi against this attack by #FiveWhiteGuys.
The townhall begins at 6, but let's meet at 5:30 to discuss our strategy before going into the event. Bring a sign that shows your support for Pelosi as speaker. Thank you!
