Win or lose, the work doesn’t finish when our elections do. If Democrats want to win, it’s in the time between our elections that we need to work the hardest.

And we have a lot of work to do — starting in the places Democrats have taken for-granted for far too long. 🧵(1/X)

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

Really proud of what our Dem club is doing. Today, thanks to the generous a attendees of our free picnic + food drive, we were able to deliver 85 lbs of food, 11 lbs of infant formula, 27 liters of drinks, personal care items + children’s medicine to one of our local pantries.

We’re about lowering costs, raising wages, creating jobs, and building affordable, safe communities.

Any and all messaging from the club will hammer away on this core, unifying theme.

So that’s the plan. Now, it’s on us to execute. Are you in?
