Thank you to the candidates who lifted up voters and allowed us to believe in a brighter future. This moment belongs to you, and to the activists and organizers whose work led to these wins. I'm proud that Speak Up PAC was able to support your efforts across the country.
Congratulations to Senator @ossoff on his reelection and the strong movement he built with @charlie4georgia. Georgia and our nation are fortunate to have his continued leadership as we take on the tough fights ahead.
Congratulations to Governor-elect @KeishaforGA on making history tonight. Georgians spoke clearly for a brighter direction for our state. Thank you to every organizer and volunteer who made sure those voices were heard. Let’s get to work.
As so many of us head to the polls today, we must remember that authoritarians never stop at their first target. After the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, politicians across the country seized the chance to redraw maps, all to weaken Black political power.
Black voters have seen this strategy before. We’re organizing, bringing our neighbors to the polls and, in many places, voting early in record numbers.
Today, cast your ballot and bring someone with you. But our response must go beyond today's election.
Tomorrow, keep organizing. The freedom to choose who governs us belongs to all of us, and so does the work of defending it.

Today, your name may not be on the ballot, but your life is. Our families, our freedoms and our ability to build a better future depend on what we do next.
Georgia, let’s send @ossoff back to the Senate, elect @keishabottoms, and vote for Democrats all the way down the ballot. If you haven’t voted yet, today is your day.
Across the country, I’m proud of so many friends on the ballot, at every level of government, who see people too often overlooked, listen to their stories and work for their right to thrive.
Our votes are our voices. Use yours. Bring someone with you. Let’s go fight—and win.
From Alabama and Missouri to Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, and more, I’ve spent time with extraordinary people who refuse to give up on their communities or their futures.
Progress takes showing up. It means organizing everywhere, investing in communities too often written off, and building the power to make change possible, even when the odds are long.
With Election Day just two days away, I’m reminded that no state is beyond our reach and no community should be left behind. The work matters everywhere, and every vote matters.
There was some serious energy at our CD4 canvass launch with Stacey Abrams!
Nothing replaces neighbors talking to neighbors, knocking doors, and having real conversations about what matters to our families.
A special thank you to Deborah for hosting us and for the incredible work you continue to do bringing people together and organizing in our community.
Now it’s time to hit some doors.
After going door-to-door in Oak Crerk, Wisconsin, I attended an @wisaflcio get-out-the-vote rally featuring their labor endorsed candidates including David Crowley for Governor, Mitchell Berman for the 1st Congressional District, Dan Bukiewicz for 21st State Assembly District, Robyn Vining for State Senate 5th District, and Josh Kaul for Attorney General...
Guest speaker, @staceyabrams, got the packed room fired up to talk to voters...
Stacey Abrams: "Authoritarians are using the institutions meant to protect our democracy to seize our power. We cannot treat that as politics as usual.
This is patriots versus authoritarians. And every one of us has a role in defending our democracy."
We control our own destiny....
And it is time to win. #Wisconsin

Vote November 3rd! #Midterms
Wisconsin, thank you for the warm welcome back! I loved joining @DavidCCrowley@WisDems@wisaflcio and voters ready to make their voices heard.
To everyone knocking doors, calling neighbors and getting folks to the polls: your work makes victory possible. Let’s finish strong. Make your plan, bring a friend and vote all the way down the ballot.
Dolores Huerta understood tough fights, long odds and the absolute necessity to do it anyway. From the United Farm Workers to the plight of immigrants, she organized and inspired generations to demand more from America, always putting working people at the center.
Each time I had the privilege of being with her, I witnessed the alchemy of wisdom and conviction. She loved our people, and her passing simply lights the way for others to take up her call. My heart is with her family and all who loved her. May we honor her extraordinary life by doing as she urged: "walk the streets with us into history."
I founded Fair Fight because every eligible voter deserves to register, cast a ballot, and have that ballot counted. With Election Day almost here, we must turn outrage into action.
Donate to Fair Fight today and help defend our freedom to vote: https://t.co/jI3j1Den7V
This is why they’ve kept Cindy Hyde-Smith in a witness protection program. This Senator hasn’t had a single town hall in 6 years and literally runs away from reporters who ask real questions. She can run but can’t hide on Election Day. @scott_colom is coming for this seat
Accountability can defeat authoritarians and win elections. Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on his resounding victory. America, let’s follow his lead and choose democracy.
Mais uma vez, foi o povo brasileiro que me mostrou que nenhum sonho é grande demais quando a gente caminha junto. ❤️🇧🇷
Foram dias incansáveis. Cada caminhada, cada ato e cada passeata foram muito mais do que momentos de campanha. Foram encontros de sonhos que se transformaram em conquistas concretas, como o fim da jornada de trabalho 6x1.
Cada mão estendida e cada sorriso me lembravam por que dediquei minha vida à luta pelos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras deste país.
Saímos dessa caminhada mais fortes, mais unidos e mais mobilizados pela garantia de um futuro melhor.
Obrigado, Brasil, por cada abraço, cada lágrima, cada sorriso e por nunca soltar a minha mão.
Nossa história ainda tem muitas páginas bonitas para escrever.
Amanhã, dia 25 de outubro, vamos escrever mais uma delas. Juntos, pelo Brasil que a gente ama e pelo futuro que o nosso povo merece! ❤️⭐ 1️⃣3️⃣
Authoritarians are using the institutions meant to protect our democracy to seize our power. We cannot treat that as politics as usual.
This is patriots versus authoritarians. And every one of us has a role in defending our democracy.
