Deliver for the Progressive Voters Who Just Handed You This Victory

Vote for Medicare for All, abolish ICE, and stop funding the genocide in Gaza. The blue wave was not a mandate for more of the same. It was a demand for the progressive agenda that powered these wins, from DSA members like Darializa Avila Chevalier and Melat Kiros unseating establishment incumbents, to Abdul El-Sayed and Troy Jackson winning on explicitly progressive platforms in Michigan and Maine. The polling is unambiguous. Gallup found healthcare the top issue for 68% of registered Democrats heading into this election. A YouGov survey showed 85% of Democrats support Medicare for All. And 77% of Democrats now support abolishing ICE, a position organizers have fought for over two decades. These are not fringe positions. They are the mandate. Hakeem Jeffries has said he opposes Medicare for All and will not commit to a vote on abolishing ICE. Chuck Schumer, with his extraordinarily low approval rating, plans to run for majority leader anyway. The voters who showed up in this election were not voting for those men's agenda. They were voting for redistribution, for healthcare, for an end to the violence of ICE raids and bombs dropped on Gaza. Deliver it.
