244 Years of Independence – We Can’t Risk Another Four of Trump

July 2, 2020

As we approach Fourth of July, we are struck by how different this year feels. While 244 years of America’s independence is certainly an achievement, it’s hard to celebrate when so many are hurting from the devastating impact of COVID-19, racial injustice, and other challenges that have been exacerbated by the incompetence, bigotry and recklessness of President Trump.

This week, we responded when Donald Trump amplified calls for “white power” and praised the bigots chanting as “great people” on Twitter. We also expressed deep concern about the fact that Trump is campaigning with Nazi symbols. The President of the United States himself has become a symbol of hate, and his incendiary messages are no longer just dog whistles – there is a bullhorn of bigotry emanating from the White House.

We don’t have to accept it and we refuse to lose hope. Our country has always been great, and it’s worth fighting for. That’s why, this Fourth of July, we’re reaffirming our commitment to defeating Donald Trump and electing Joe Biden and other Democrats who share our values in November.

Our nation has persevered for the past 244 years, but we cannot risk another four years of Trump. If you agree, join us by supporting JDCA’s efforts to defeat Trump today. Click here or on the image below to join our movement.

We were thrilled hundreds of you joined us earlier this week for our Democrats Leading in Crisis call with Reps. Brad Schneider (D-IL) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and former U.S. ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, regarding annexation. In case you missed it, watch below.
