Change

Nothing is going to change in this country until we have a clear, fundamental statement of values. That means a statement that is written down and acknowledged by everyone, even those with hate in their heart. That clear statement has to define who we are, not just as Democrats, but as Americans, what we aspire to as a nation. And that clear statement has to originate inside our party. There is no one else.

Making that statement means accepting that we are more than just a political party, that our purpose is far bigger than just the next election. It means accepting that we have a moral imperative: to create a just society … as long as it takes.

None of this starts in Washington. None of this happens from the top down. This starts with the grassroots of the Democratic Party. This starts with you, the county parties and Indivisibles and all the other activist out there. Because there is no one else.
