In the face of rising fascism and the looming Donald Trump presidency, we must continue to build an organized, working-class movement to fight back.
The next four years will be difficult. We face an unprecedented era as Trump plans to install MAGA loyalists in the federal government, strip away abortion, trans rights, and bodily autonomy, round up and deport millions of immigrants, imprison political enemies, gut labor rights, fuel climate chaos, and push forward policies that continue bloating the billionaire class. In the Metro DC area, we face unique threats with attacks on federal labor unions and federal employees, attacks on DC’s already-restricted local government, increased surveillance of DC residents, and more.
The Democratic establishment and consultant class have failed us, abandoning their base and leaning towards billionaire donors and conservative rhetoric trying to pit marginalized communities against each other. We must respond with solidarity and provide an alternative to these two visions. We will continue the fight to build working class power at the state and local level and win the world we deserve.
We have a moral obligation to be relentless. We have a duty to be effective.
