It's Walz. Let's go.


On Monday's @Progs4Harris organizing call, more than 100,000 people heard from politicians, union leaders, social justice organizers, anti-war activists, climate action advocates, students, elders, workers, parents, DNC uncommitted delegates, and more about why this election is make or break, life or death for the causes and programs we have been working for for decades. 

Now, the ticket is set with today's announcement that Minnesota governor Tim Walz will be the vice presidential candidate. And, it seems they are finally listening to people who want a robust, real campaign that speaks to the issues people feel.

Time is short and stakes are huge. 

Michael Moore gives a how-to lesson in his podcast episode, 93 Days to a Better World. Gaslit Nation has teamed up with Indivisible and Sister District to do weekly phone banking into "Republican-hostage states," and has a new, updated 2024 Survival Guide with many more actions and ideas. Third ActProgressive Tunrnout Project, Vote Forward, and other groups facilitate postcards and letters to voters programs to increase voter turnout. And the Harris campaign has donation and volunteer info at it's web site.

Progress 2025 must trump Project 2025. Bodily autonomy for women must win over governmental menstrual surveillance. Stronger climate action has to kill off drill, baby, drill. Fair taxes and enforcement has to beat more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Full, protected LGBTQ+ rights have to prevail over plans to "gut queer and trans rights." Addressing the immigration issues at their source must not yield to xenophobia, lies, and hate. Union and worker rights have to be upheld, democratic institutions strengthened, and fair elections protected.

Act now before it's too late.
