During the 2020 cycle, we raised $21 million for progressive candidates and causes. Don't let anyone tell you progressives can't fundraise.

Yay, it's Tax Day. 🫠 Wouldn't it be great if the 1% paid their fair share in taxes? Let's work to pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act to create a fairer economy through (see next tweet):

This St. Patrick's Day, celebrate the things in you that make you Irish (which we all are today). Read widely, have a pint if you wish, care for one another, and stand with the oppressed wherever they may be. And do it all with warmth, humility, and wit. ☘️ #HappyStPatricksDay

March is Women's History Month, and women are under attack more than ever. We must continue to fight for equal rights, whether that's bodily autonomy or pay equity. Celebrate women by lifting them up and by getting in the fight!

This country isn't finished or perfect, not even close. But the founding fathers hoped that we'd keep at it, filling in gaps they left, always improving upon that foundational dream of a fair and free democracy. Do your part!
