Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D-Ga.) won reelection in the Georgia runoff on Tuesday night, turning aside a challenge from Republican former football star Herschel Walker. We now have 51 votes in the Senate! Now we must prepare for 2024 Senate challenges.

Here are the top 4 takeaways from the race.

There’s great strain on working families, but together we can lower costs and raise ourselves up.

Yes, we can: Election Achievements.

When we organize, with love at the center, we can win!

You are amazing, dedicated, and values-driven, and you do the progressive mobilization that is needed!

Reproductive freedom, the freedom to vote, to sustain (and expand) Social Security and Medicare, get assault weapons off the street, cancel student debt, ensure there is expansion good paying/union jobs, address inflation, a caring society, a pathway to citizenship and more is possible because you do the work that is needed and we are there for each other.


We are still on a knife’s edge in the struggle between freedom/factual information/expansion of democracy and tyranny/lies/undermining of democracy. But we make progress when we organize.


So much to be thankful for with this caring community, working so intensely for freedom, justice, democracy, and peace. You have shown that when we organize–with love at the center–we can change the world. And you are changing the world, to make it more just and democratic.


Of course, the struggle continues.

But your spirit and commitment make the struggle so much more joyful and effective. You make the victories sweeter and the challenges easier to bear–because we face them together.


We have so much further to go–for a caring society, for greater democracy and justice. For good jobs with unions. For a society that includes and reflects us all. For stopping the lies and disinformation, the hate-filled threats and real violence. For love at the center.


Together we have found the shared messages. Together we do the work. Together–with those we helped elect who provide the public leadership. Together, we bend that long moral arc of the universe toward justice.


So thankful for you all and for our partnership in this movement.

Reproductive Freedom After Dobbs vs Jackson.

This is about our freedom to decide whether, when, and with whom to have a family. The opposition believe politicians have the right to make our most personal decisions, based on their faith and values. We believe in the freedom to make our own decisions, based on our faith and values.

Disqualify Donald Trump from Holding Public Office, Under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment Petition by MoveOn

Donald Trump and his associates planned, promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy that became the January 6 insurrection. According to the U.S. Constitution, that disqualifies him from ever holding office again. Section three of the Fourteenth Amendment, the “insurrection clause,” makes clear that anyone who engaged in attempting to violently overthrow the US government after swearing an oath to protect it is barred from being given that responsibility again.

We need to NOT ONLY hold Trump accountable – we need to stop Trumpism and the MAGA extremism that is hate-fueled and turns to violence when they cannot win by legitimate means.
