The Democratic Party needs to fight harder

Justice Democrats

Harris,

Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk are attempting a corporate coup on our federal government while unconstitutionally attacking our fundamental rights — and the Democratic Party so far has largely failed to meet the moment.

Everyday people have noticed and started pushing back, calling out Democrats to do their jobs. Thousands protested the Trump administration's attempt to shut down USAID in Washington, D.C. this week. When Democratic leaders addressed the crowds, people shouted, "We know! Do something about it!"

Now, more and more Democratic senators are pledging to block Trump's nominees until Musk's hostile takeover is stopped. It's about time!

But Justice Democrats leaders have been outspoken and fiercely fighting back since Day 1. Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Delia Ramirez joined protestors outside of the Department of Labor — Musk and DOGE's next target — to show solidarity and urge their fellow Democrats in the House and Senate to fight this threat with the strength and urgency it demands.

A screenshot of two posts on X. The first is from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib reading: 'We protested at the U.S. Department of Labor, where an unelected billionaire is dismantling worker protections and pretending it's about efficiency. We have to fight in Congress, the courts, and in the streets.' The post includes 3 pictures of protesters outside the Department of Labor. The second post is from Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez reading: 'Musk is targeting the Dept. of Labor. We can't act like it's business as usual. I will not concede the power of the people.' The post includes a screenshot of a video of the Congresswoman with the caption ''Do something.' 'What are you'.

Clearly, we need more of that bold leadership in Congress. Help us recruit and elect more working-class progressives to join Rashida, Delia, and the rest of our Justice Democrats bloc in fiercely fighting for the people: pitch in $5 now!

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
