As we come to the end of 2018, it is important to remember why we do this work.  We do this work for policies that help people. Not for politicians, parties, or power.  For people.  So, we may lead better lives. In the immediate we want policies to:

• protect human rights at the border, in Yemen, and for victims of abuse
• protect rule of law in Mueller’s investigation
• protect our healthcare so we may stop living in fear of preexisting conditions

In the big picture we want policies that will help human rights, healthcare, voting rights, women’s rights, black lives matter, LGTBQ rights, immigrants, those with disabilities, survivors, gun violence prevention, diversity, and truth.

We understand that for the next Congress we will likely only pass progressive policies through the House. But we must push for progressive policies in the House, to make the case to elect progressive law makers at all levels of government who will enact policies to improve peoples’ lives.

We are proud to do this work – to work for progressive policies that help people. 

And we will keep working until this is a reality for all.
