"Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. That matters because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people." Elizabeth Warren
It would be nice if we finally taxed corporations in this country, but at least President Biden is proposing an increase in taxes for people with annual incomes over $400,000. It would be nice if this bill also included corporations, since our society effectively treats corporations as equals to people if not better.
The NY state Governor has nominated a conservative judge for the state Supreme Court and grassroots organizers are asking people in the state to call the governor and ask her to withdraw the nomination. We're already seeing the disastrous impact of conservatives on the federal Supreme Court, and this nomination will give the conservatives in NYS a majority. So please pass this information along to friends and family in NY state and ask them to call the Governor to withdraw the nomination (and also call their state senators to vote against it if it comes up for a vote).
From Bernie: this is definitely a concern of many people. Please this last weekend, do what you can to get out the Blue vote! https://www.facebook.com/berniesanders/videos/5497319113718370
Indivisible has a tool called Neighbor to Neighbor. When you put in your address, you are provided the names and addresses of 5 people near you who vote Democrat. This program is available in the IL-14 Congressional District and in the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, GA, MI, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TX, WA, and WI. I used it and it was great to meet some sane neighbors and give them voting information.

Hi folks,
This upcoming Saturday (3/26) at noon there will be a rally with AM Zohran Mamdani and Kristen Gonzalez (candidate for State Sen.) both of whom are Queens DSA endorsed folks. This is a great opportunity to meet other progressives in NYC so please join us so that we can make sure these two great people can get on the ballot in 2020.
We are a group that advocates for and endorses progressive candidates and policies. We endorse progressive candidates and help them in elections by making thousands of calls to voters on their behalf.
We also pressure centrist politicians that are already in office into supporting policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, Debt-Free College, and getting corporate money out of politics.
Weโre sick of half-measures and incremental changes that do nothing to help average, working-class people. Weโre tired of being told to wait for reforms that are long overdue, especially when weโre running out of time for bold, comprehensive action on issues like climate change or the student debt crisis.
We will never refuse to endorse a progressive candidate based on who their opponent is. We refuse to ignore those that are in races against powerful people, as these are often some of the most important races to be won.
We will rescind an endorsement if a candidate backs an establishment candidate over a progressive, if they take any corporate money, or if they compromise the progressive values that we endorsed them for in the first place.
Weโre sick of a status quo that only works for the wealthy and the elite.
In our first 2 months, we made 60,000 calls (without a dialer) for Adam Christensen, a progressive candidate that ran in Floridaโs 3rd Congressional District in 2020. Since then, we have also made calls to constituents urging them to call their representatives to get them to support the Green New Deal, and we have also made calls in Georgia to get people to register and vote in the runoff election.
After that we began making calls to voters to increase support for Medicare For All. Most recently, we worked on behalf of Nina Turnerโs congressional campaign. In our first week phone banking for her campaign, our phone bankers made 28,649 calls on her behalf and they made over 600,000 calls for her overall.
If these issues interest you and you would like to learn more about us, you can visit our website at this link.
There you can find more information about us and the policies that we support, as well as the candidates we have endorsed. If someone you know is looking for an endorsement, they can apply for one there as well.
You can also apply to volunteer to help us carry out our mission. This is an entirely volunteer-run organization, and we welcome anyone that would like to volunteer their time to fight for these policies. You can meet plenty of other young, like-minded progressives from all over the country, and the application only takes about 30 seconds. The application can be found here.
