Defeating autocracy means Democrats need to formulate a better response to find a broader coalition.

We need to be clear about the stakes and we need to push back loudly. This is about more than just keeping the lights on in DC, it’s about protecting our freedom, our healthcare, and our democracy.

Democrats are fighting to deliver for all of us - by protecting Affordable Care Act subsidies, lowering costs, and making people’s lives better.

Trump and Republicans continue to rip healthcare away from millions of Americans and fire thousands of civil servants - to break government and our public spirit.

This government shutdown is the next phase of the authoritarian power grab by Trump and the GOP, this time by taking away people’s healthcare and livelihoods.

Tonight, @staceyabrams.com, the Walter Chair in Race & Black Politics at Howard University, & @profmbj.bsky.social told an audience we’re now under an authoritarian regime.
They both outlined ways to combat it. Abrams recently launched 10stepscampign.org, which has tips on actions to take.

Autocrats have a playbook. So do we. Share what you know, organize your people, fight in the courts & protest in our streets, demand more from our leaders. Our 10 Steps lead to freedom.

From reproductive freedom to equal pay to online safety, our democracy suffers when women are sidelined. Grateful to have joined #CGI2025 this week to talk about how we can advance equality and participation.

Unless Congress acts, 22 million people who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see their costs increase by 75%.

Nobody should have to choose between health care and groceries. Tell Congress: extend the ACA tax credits permanently! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...
