Older leaders say: “Let’s work within the system.”
Younger voters reply: “The system is broken and you’re too comfortable to admit it.”
Elder Democrats need to truly listening & make room for new voices.

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force.
Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
