An open letter to the U.S. Congress

We demand action

24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Here's the letter body: It's time for Democrats to stop holding back and take decisive, strategic action. The political climate has become too hostile and dangerous for civility or compromise to remain the default approach. Republicans are prioritizing power at all costs, spreading lies, undermining institutions, and eroding democracy. If Democrats don’t respond with urgency and strength, we risk losing everything we stand for. Where is the fight? Democrats’ failure to control the narrative—especially on social media—is allowing misinformation to flourish unchallenged. While bad actors flood platforms with lies, Democrats’ messaging remains weak and inconsistent. This must change immediately. Moreover, Elon Musk’s unchecked power threatens democracy. Acting like an elected official, he manipulates discourse, interferes with policy, and spreads harmful narratives. This abuse of influence must be addressed immediately. The time for appeasement is over. Democrats must act decisively and unapologetically to protect our values, institutions, and the American people. Stop hesitating, stop backing down, and start leading. The stakes are too high to waste any more time. Democrats are dangerously normalizing Trump by treating him as just another political opponent instead of the existential threat to democracy he is. This complacency emboldens his authoritarian agenda and those who follow it. His lies, abuses of power, and disdain for democratic norms are a direct assault on our nation’s principles. The time for hesitation is over. We count on you to meet this moment with the strength and conviction it demands. Show us you are ready to fight—not just for us but for the future of democracy itself.
