Be the PARTY of Empathy

To: Sen. Arreguín, Asm. Bonta, Gov. Newsom

From: A constituent in Oakland, CA

June 11, 2025

The truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. It's time to set aside whatever the Democratic Party pretends to espouse, AND ACTUALLY STAND FOR SOMETHING. PLEASE find your empathy again. Let's be the party that cares about each other, the working class, women, people of color, immigrants, our foreign allies, and anyone disenfranchised by the powerful. PLEASE find your soul again.
