We want Bread and Freedom
There are so many reasons to be grateful for yesterday’s election results …
Zohran Mamdani was elected NYC mayor … against all odds. Which tells us this: when the voters have a clear choice between bread and billionaires, bread always wins. Bravo, Mamdani!
Virginia was swept with Democratic wins, many of which we (as Freedom Writers) were players in – I’m looking at all of you Freedom Writers who wrote postcards for Dr. Mark Downey and other Postcards 4VA campaigns that we did! Rock on, Freedom Writers!
And then there’s California … Ahh, California! THANK YOU, California voters. You didn’t even have a candidate on the ballot … just an idea! But YOU came out in droves to support DEMOCRACY by opposing Trump’s gerrymandering ploys and by fighting fire with fire. Every single Californian resident who voted for Prop 50 has helped us save our nation. We thank you!
And last but not least, just as the US suffrage movement of the 1910’s asked for “Bread and Roses” (meaning not only sustenance but also dignified working conditions), we TOO must demand more than bread in our generation. We must demand ”bread and democracy,” from our government right now. Remember: We were 7 Million Strong on Oct. 18th, and we will grow to over 12 million strong soon, whether the current administration likes it ot not. So, it’s high time we started demanding the government we deserve.
We have the momentum right now, and we will not stop until both our bread and our democracy are safe from fascist assault.
Please consider doing all of the actions listed below, as these actions have been selected to be the most effective actions that we know of.
Thank you for helping us save our Democracy,
EB Freed and Billy J

I'm so glad I wrote postcards to Pennsylvania! They reinstated the 3 justices who had been removed because of their ideas and the positions they took. I doubt that my cards were very instrumental in bringing about the win, but who knows...and it sure feels better to have been writing for the winning proposition (this may be my first time!)...!
Well stated. "BRAVO" to Erin and Bill!
