RootsAction invites you to sign our new petition warning that “the Democratic Party has failed to confront the urgency of this perilous moment.” Launching today, the petition tells the party’s governing body, the Democratic National Committee, to “convene an emergency meeting of all its members – fully open to the public – as soon as possible.” You can read the short petition and sign it here. “Business as usual must give way to truly bold action that mobilizes against the autocracy that Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their cronies are further entrenching every day,” says the petition, which RootsAction is cosponsoring with Progressive Democrats of America. The petition adds: “The predatory, extreme and dictatorial actions of the Trump administration call for an all-out commensurate response, which so far has been terribly lacking from the Democratic Party.” The petition concludes that it’s time for the Democratic National Committee to “heed the insights of progressive policy analysts and grassroots activists – and that should begin at this emergency meeting.” If you agree, please sign! | |
