"Have we become too jaded, too accustomed to the ritual of the passing of the torch of democracy to truly appreciate what a blessing and a privilege it is to witness this moment? I think not." -Amy Klobuchar Thrilled to see the first female VP!

The fight for abortion rights and women's equality is happening at the state level. If you live in a state with a Republican-controlled legislature, let's change that ASAP! Donate to progressive, pro-choice, local candidates today.

Pod Save America is helping raise money for Progress NC Action! Help us build real progressive political power so we can protect abortion access and more. We all deserve to live in a true multi-racial democracy, not rule by a minority of right-wing radicals. votesave.us/fightback

"Senate Republicans have voted down every attempt to make our communities safer, from universal background checks to red flag laws...intent on making it possible for any individual, no matter how dangerous, to acquire a deadly weapon, no questions asked." newsobserver.com/opinion/articl…

“There will be consequences, for children and parents alike. They will fall heaviest on the least privileged among us, who already struggle from a lack of health care, a lack of child care, poor maternal health outcomes and economic hardship.” charlotteobserver.com/opinion/articl…

The NC Medical Society says Republicans' new abortion ban interferes in the doctor-patient relationship, is administratively burdensome, not evidence-based, and will compromise patient access to safe care. Bottom line: #SB20 is dangerous, extreme, and political overreach. #NoBansinNC

So Rep. Ted Davis, Jr., who campaigned on upholding the current law, voted for an extreme abortion ban because "every other Republican member said they would vote for" it. A real Profile in Courage!

“As parents, students, and educators prepare for Back to School this week, it will be under a haze of uncertainty and hate as GOP legislators have prioritized targeting vulnerable children over passing a state budget that will give hardworking educators the raises they deserve."

"You'd be in the budget process and you'd realize there was money going to some position out of the blue,” one former Republican lawmaker said. “It was a good ol' boy game, and Tim is a good ol' boy." theassemblync.com/politics/last-…

Grateful for the voice of Martin Luther King III in this important race. Mark Robinson's platform of hate and bigotry should alarm anyone who stands for justice and equality.

There's 53 days until we can elect Kamala Harris as President. I wrote for Indian American Impact about what this moment means for me, the South Asian community, and girls everywhere. desipresident.com/blog/lets-drea…
