BREAKING: By an overwhelming vote, the Arizona Democratic Party just passed a resolution calling on Democrats nationwide — from grassroots activists to party leaders — to pledge to support the winner of the Democratic primary to replace Kyrsten Sinema.

Sinema must go. This was a great team effort by many AZ Dem Party leaders organized together in the AZ Coalition to End the Filibuster & the Progressive and Labor councils of the ADP. 71% in favor. Thank you @Serrano4CUSD, @OldGringoAz, @PaulForArizona, @AnnHeitland,
@BWestbrookAZ8 & many more!

BREAKING: West Virginia faith leaders & citizens are shutting down MLK Way in our state capitol. As King family have said––No #MLKDay celebration without legislation. We're making Good Trouble to tell Joe Manchin: fix the filibuster + pass the John Lewis Freedom to Vote Act now! As President Biden said, the GOP assault on voting rights & fair elections is the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War. Manchin himself said “inaction is not an option.” We are nonviolently disrupting business as usual to say the Senate cannot wait any longer.

BREAKING: On day after @kyrstensinema’s infamous speech defending the filibuster, 70+ Arizona Democratic women leaders release this open letter calling on @emilyslist—Sinema’s #1 contributor—to “immediately make a public demand to Senator Sinema to support ending the filibuster.” Signers include former city councilmembers and current members of the Arizona Democratic Party executive committee.

The letter, organized through the Arizona Coalition to End the Filibuster, challenges one of the most influential Democratic organizations that still backs Sinema.

.@KyrstenSinema claims the filibuster "protects the democracy of our nation."

Today 4 of Arizona's leading constitutional law experts disagreed in this powerful letter calling on Sinema to reform the filibuster to protect voting rights and our Constitution.

Proud to stand with restaurant workers, union members, and community allies from the #PoorPeoplesCampaign, @OneFairWage & more today to demand that @KyrstenSinema vote to pass a $15 minimum wage NOW.

It is essential to COVID relief + a promise that must be kept.

It cannot wait. Haley Carrera, restaurant worker & @onefairwage AZ organizer, shared her moving story at @kyrstensinema's office today.

She recently came home w/ just $4 in tips. She held on to them as a reminder that she & millions of workers deserve so much more.

$15 with tips is the floor.

The coronavirus crisis is driving big shifts in public opinion.

A new poll asked voters if it made them *more or less likely to support proposals where all Americans would get their health insurance from the govt.*

Dems: +55
All adults: +29
Moderates: +39
Boomers: +17

I have a few things to say about the Bernie-Warren conflict and this moment.

THREAD I want to start by recognizing that if MLK had not been assassinated, he might've turned 91 today. For me, King’s leadership is a North Star. He taught us not about a sterile “civility” but about revolutionary love!

This is the El Paso shooter.

Patrick Crusius, a 21 year-old white male Trump supporter whose manifesto says he committed mass murder in “response to [the] Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

This is white supremacist terror.

It's part of a pattern.

And Trump is complicit. @outsider609 I don't say that Trump is complicit lightly.

But it is, I believe, a truth we must tell. And hold him, and the GOP that aids and abets him, accountable for.

THREAD

I was among the 24 West Virginians arrested yesterday at the #ToxicRockwool construction site, with some 400 of our neighbors rallying nearby to protect our home from toxic, coal & fracked gas-fueled heavy industry.

#StandAgainstRockwool This movement to #StopRockwool is a beautiful one. If we make yesterday’s huge step just one among many in a journey that mobilizes thousands to stand courageously together, we will win. I’m grateful for everyone who showed up & especially all who worked hard to make it happen.
