BREAKING—Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times has debuted as a New York Times & USA Today Bestseller!
The enthusiasm for this book tells us: people are stepping forward and will be the change. Thank you to everyone who has supported it. Keep going. ordinarypeopleaction.com
What do tailgates have to do with our work to achieve freedom for all? They help us see that we’re not as divided as we think. 1/3
That’s what I call Tailgate Accountability—a practice of building across our differences, holding boundaries that keep us accountable to our values, and each of us doing our part to push back on those who intentionally seek to polarize us. 2/3

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

As CEO — and Texan — @SkyePerryman said, Early voters in Texas are showing up and speaking out at the ballot box.

Make sure your voice is heard. Stay informed and prepared at: vote411.org/democracyforward
Divide & conquer mentalities perpetuated by anti-democratic actors seek to have us blame each other, instead of holding those in power accountable. This robs all of us of our freedom & power. In reality, people build community across differences every day—like at the tailgate.
Lots of noise today. Cut through it. This is an “all-hands” moment; this election will be by & for the people. Check registration at vote411.org. Vote early & take friends. Call 1-866-OUR-VOTE w/ problems. Consider volunteering. More at vote.org.

Excellent piece by Cole Bucy on how the war has changed Iran's strategic mindset and what that means moving forward.

“There’s always an option for the government to follow the law &stop creating harm.”
Our team @DemocracyFwd & co-counsel were in court all day to protect East Potomac Park. I spoke with CNN midday about the importance of our work to enforce law and demand checks and balances.

If chaos and confusion are the point, we must cut through the chaos and confusion.
As CEO @SkyePerryman said in front of members of Congress, we must be strong and protect against any attempts to thwart our votes. Listen for how.
TAILGATE TALKS— Vote early. Tailgate often. Debra Cronmiller of @LWV shares how safe it is to cast a ballot and answer some concerns we often hear. Watch this and go to vote411.org to make a plan to vote early!
Regardless, today was energizing and inspiring, make sure you are following @No_Kings @IndivisibleTeam and @DemocracyFwd for updates.

CEO @SkyePerryman joined MS Now from the DC No Kings: Vote Early Day to discuss the incredible momentum we are seeing from people across the nation, the threats to our voting rights, the work we're doing to confront them, and how each one of us can play a role: vote early, make a plan, know your options, and help your neighbors do the same. If chaos and fear are the point, we must build community and courage.
