@rweingarten.bsky.social: This work is so important because it's clear: The current administration understands they can't win a free and fair election. So they're doing what Orban did in Hungary, what Putin did in Russia. They take a democratic system and use that to create authoritarianism.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: Even during the Civil War and WWII, we had elections. And when states have challenged this administration, they've won. This is part of democracy defense, and everyone on tonight's call is working to create freedom for all.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: We have a proud tradition in this union, separate and apart from fighting for WHO to elect, of fighting for the franchise so that we, the people, have the choice of who represents us. Join us: aftvotes.org
