"Your leadership this year has included: Organizing and mobilizing for Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win in New York City, Katie Wilson’s victory in Seattle, and gubernatorial and special election wins across America. Participating in the largest demonstrations in American history. Bombarding your members of Congress with telephone calls and letters. Attending their town halls and demanding answers. Boycotting big corporations that are enabling this tyranny (Palantir, Tesla, Home Depot, Amazon) and shafting their workers (Starbucks, Walmart, Amazon). Protecting the vulnerable in our communities. Letting them know when ICE is in their neighborhoods. Demanding that local officials not cooperate with tyranny. Organizing food banks and pantries. And sharing these posts with your friends and colleagues so they have the facts, arguments, and analyses they need to effectively resist."
