Like the #PeacePlan or not – it’s a plan that is sparking a much-needed conversation from the halls of Congress to our living rooms at home.
Even if you NEVER agree with me… please read the plan. Think about what parts you could support, if any, and if you don’t agree then at least you now know what we are talking about.

marchforourlives.com/peace-plan/
If you do support the #PeacePlan, sign the petition on our website. Call your reps to demand they look for solutions as big as the problem.

Ask the presidential candidates what they think about it. Most importantly, talk to your friends & family.

Help us spread the word.
This plan seeks to protect gun owners like my father from a reckless and dangerous gun lobby focused purely on selling guns, not protecting those that use them.

Read the plan to find out how.

They’re trying to change the rules because I'm not currently breaking them. As we’re seeing law firms, tech companies, and so many others bowing to Trump, we all must use whatever position of power we have to fight back. And that’s exactly what I'm doing.
This moment requires us to have the strongest opposition party possible to stop Trump from destroying people’s retirement savings, disappearing people, plunging our economy into oblivion—and to provide a real alternative to the Republican Party for voters that we simply do not have right now.
That will not change if we keep the status quo. We have no other option but to do the hard work of holding ourselves and our own party accountable.

THREAD: There are a lot of questions about what we are doing and why we are challenging some incumbents at leaders we deserve- (No we are not just focused on primaries we also want to support young people running in red to blue seats to help win the majority)
Too many elected leaders in the Democratic Party are either unwilling or unable to meet the moment and are asleep at the wheel while Trump is demolishing the economy, challenging the foundations of our democracy, and creating new existential crises for our country by the day.
The party has hit an all-time low approval rating of 27%.

I’ve just been elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC. I’m deeply grateful to the members for their trust and belief in me and I don’t take it lightly. Now it’s time to get to work. 🧵 Image
We need to build a Democratic Party that is authentic, relatable, earns people's trust, and wins again––and that stops apologizing for being who we are.
We have to stop being cowards—it’s time to be bold, aggressive, and to fight—just like we did after Parkland.

I’ve learned a lot helping my family get my dad into hospice but one of the biggest realizations I’ve had is that our country is facing a geriatric financial time bomb. It is absolutely insane how much elder care costs. For my family if we were to have someone 24/7 it’s $450k a year
Oh AND to have him in a home with full time care it’s 13k monthly (AFTER negotiating it down from 20k a month) only to show up there and have them tell my family it’s going to be a 20k down payment plus a 5k deposit on our credit card. This is insane
The scary thing to me too is that we’re going through all this even as my dad has healthcare through the VA and from his former job in the FBI. And life insurance. Few people have the amount of support that we have. And as more people need to be put into homes because boomers have such a big population it’s only going to reduce the supply of elder care even more further increasing prices.

We should not be charging people to use public transit when we rarely charge people to use roads that are way more expensive for tax payers to maintain and are significantly more environmentally damaging than transit. The state and federal government should do all they can to add incentives to use public transit and remove disincentives to using it. We also need to incentivize the building of way more high density housing around public transit centers. While I’m at it we need to reform parking minimums that have destroyed American cities.
We also need to take a serious look at our flawed transit model that mainly focuses on brining people to and from urban centers. People have lives outside of work. We should have metro systems that form beltways around our cities to connect communities more directly on opposite sides of a metro area.
Let me be clear- I am not saying that people should be charged to use roads. I’m saying that if we aren’t charging people to use roads then we also shouldn’t be charging people for using methods of transportation that are objectively better for the environment and tax payers.

A few key points about Leaders We Deserve.

1. We want all Generations in government. Young people are vastly under-represented so we want to change that. In 2020, millennial and Gen-Z individuals only held 21% of State Legislative seats while representing 45% of the electorate.
2. 80% of our focus and resources will be spent on state legislatures like Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina to lead the fight against the far right. 20% will be spent on congress.
3.Right now, our focus is on open Democratic seats in these key state states legislatures. After the primaries we will help young people in more competitive races in the general election.
