We must defeat Trump if we want to keep building power, making positive change, and fighting for intersectional justice. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

 

Pamela -

With the election just four days away, I want to take a moment to share my perspective and explain why I voted for Vice President Kamala Harris for president, and why I hope you do, too.

As a Queer, Black, Trans, Disabled climate activist, so much is painful to me about living in this country and operating within our political system. The entire electoral process is deeply flawed.

But I'm seeing some really dangerous rhetoric that directly implies that VP Harris and Trump are the same, just two sides of the same coin. These candidates and their supporters are not the same at all, and viewing them that way puts me and my communities at risk.

The choice before us is binary: We must defeat Trump if we want to keep building power, making positive change, and fighting for intersectional justice.

VP Kamala Harris is the only choice because she actually cares about my communities and has for her entire career. She believes the climate is in crisis and that we need to address it, and she's done so by suing Big Oil, creating San Francisco's first environmental justice office, and has advocated for keeping the U.S. in the Paris Climate Agreement. She's also championed LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, and legal, safe reproductive health care for all.

Meanwhile, Trump is a bigot, a liar, a fascist, and a creep who thinks my life's work, combatting the climate crisis, is ridiculous and based on a hoax perpetrated by China. He would use the federal government to define Trans folks like me out of existence and does not believe in the rights of Palestinians or the viability of a two-state solution.

For all those reasons and more, I enthusiastically voted for VP Harris, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

The early vote turnout is exciting, but not enough. We need a landslide to prevent another January 6th.

So, for the sake of the republic; for the safety and respect of immigrants, people who can get pregnant, and the LGBTQI+ community; for climate justice; for my own safety and right to exist; for the chance to end the horrifying genocide in Gaza; I beg everyone to vote Blue up and down the ticket.

This election, we have a binary choice to make. Vote like lives depend on it, because they do.

To get my full perspective on why we must do everything we can to elect VP Harris on Tuesday, you can read the full blog post here →

Together,
