Official Statements

We are committed to preserving the rule of law, individual rights, and a citizenship grounded in mutual responsibility and care. Our loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any party or person.

President Trump signed a sweeping executive order claiming authority over elections the Constitution clearly grants to Congress and states.

Democracy is not guaranteed. We call on Congress to honor their duty and provide a check on activity not aligned with the rule of law.

These executive orders are not simply theoretical or ceremonial; they will have an immediate and destabilizing impact on people's lives.

We acknowledge with gratitude the government employees, poll workers, and volunteers who made this familiar process fair.

We condemn political violence — it is unacceptable in any form. It threatens our way of life and undermines the strength of our country.

We have the opportunity to elect officials who reflect values we hold dear. Through our votes, we choose our nation's political environment.

The proceedings in Trump’s criminal trial reflect our country’s long-held norms of a judicial system that is fair, balanced, and impartial.
