Hi friends! We’re finally back #onhere after having our account compromised. But we sadly didn’t have access to Twitter on #GivingTuesday during an important month for fundraising. Will you help us make up the difference?

Opinion: "The governor knows the time for action on climate change was yesterday, but in lieu of that we will have to settle for today," says Ian McDonald of Killingly.

Finally. @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris have won! They were propelled to the WH by young people, especially young people of color in key battleground states. @sunrisemvmt has been deploying money, volunteers & resources to have a major impact on youth turnout. Let me share how: (1/22)

"Make no mistake: The attempt to harness Trumpism—without Trump, but with calculated, refined, and smarter political talent—is coming," @zeynep argues. "And it won’t be easy to make the next Trumpist a one-term president." https://t.co/Ex3vQHpT1b

Perhaps moderate Democrats in the House should stop blaming the Movements for Black Lives, youth movements, and progressives for their losses, when it is in fact us who delivered the margin of victory to defeat Trump.

Young people of color literally just saved democracy.

Exit polls show that "74% of Biden voters say addressing climate change was a very important factor in their choice"

Climate voters were pivotal in putting Biden in the position he's in right now to win.
