Hi All! Minneapolis has won victory in a battle still being fought, but we must call it what it is, a victory. Minneapolis has distilled the problem with this regime most clearly in its mad, cold air. And, nowhere to date has the solution been so evident. We are the fire that holds the key to power.
Fear is a force multiplier. Minneapolis didn’t bend to it! Maga’s splintering, turning tail. The low-info voters who supported him are leaving in droves. He’s losing. We’re winning. Believe that, go forth, and multiply the offense and pushback you give this regime.

This letter also prompts you to find candidates who will fight for us. Think of women you know capable of representing us.
“When women are in positions of local, state, and federal power, we can make decisions that take into account our unique lives, families, and values to build a better world. But electing these people takes investment from you. Keep up with these organizations, which are uniquely committed to electing women, trans folks, and people of color to office:
- Higher Heightsis the only political action committee exclusively dedicated to electing more progressive Black women at the federal and statewide levels and as mayors in the 100 most populated U.S. cities.
- Vote Run Lead trains women to run for office and win, reaching over tens of thousands of women across America.
- LGBTQ+ Victory Fund supports pro-equality, pro-choice, out LGBTQ+ candidates at all levels of government who we know can win their elections and fight for our rights.
- States Win is a grassroots organization that leverages experience, research, and volunteerism to get Democrats elected in state legislatures.
- States Project connects the importance of state legislatures to every aspect of our lives and brings together communities to help build a healthy, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.”—Supermajority
We specifically need people to run for Board of Education seats. Moms for Liberty are very active here, working to elect magas to influence education policies.
Those we’ve already elected should be brought to the table of resistance. Yesterday morning, I sent a letter to a Councilperson and our Mayor, asking that Closter refuse ICE access to borough-owned properties for staging their operations. I linked Jersey City Mayor James Solomon’s executive order refusing ICE this cooperation. Use this template to plead your case to your town’s mayor and council. I promise you, it’s easier than you think to do this!

We know we’re fighting to save our country, and nothing stiffens a backbone like that. Get a piece of paper and write this down: We Will Win! Then, put it in your sock drawer. Years from now, you will find this, and who knows where we’ll be then? Unapologetically make your voices heard and take back your freedoms NOW!
In Solidarity,
