WE ARE VOTING IN DROVES. TRUMP IS SCARED. HE IS LOSING.
Jump to today’s actions:
Background
We have the will of the people. We are voting in droves. Trump can see the writing on the wall. He is weak and knows he is losing.
That is why Trump and his GOP are doing everything they can to keep us from voting.
Why Trump is trying to trick us into thinking our votes do not count by refusing a peaceful transfer of power.
Why he is forcing through his illegitimate Supreme Court nominee who will
rip away our healthcare during a pandemic
strip us of abortion rights forcing us to bear children/give birth
punish immigrants for moving for better life
reverse LGBTQ rights
because he needs his Supreme Court nominee to give him the presidency after he loses.
We will not back down. We must see through Trump’s bluster – a desperate attempt to cling to power.
We must call our Senators. Urge them to support Schumer’s plan to use every available tool to make sure there is no Supreme Court conformation until after the next inauguration.
Then do everything possible get out the vote. Make your voting plan NOW. Help friends and family make their voting plan NOW. Take action to get out the vote NOW.
