RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEMOCRATS RALLY BEHIND KAMALA HARRIS: A CALL TO ACTION

Joe Biden’s Endorsement Sparks Unprecedented Grassroots Enthusiasm that Acknowledges the Urgency to Elect Democrats Up and Down the Ticket

 

Riverside, CA – The Riverside County Democratic Party proudly and enthusiastically endorses Kamala Harris for President of the United States. This election is not just another contest; it is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. American democracy is quite literally on the line. The stakes have never been higher, and the choice has never been clearer.

With Joe Biden’s honorable decision to step aside, we now have a leader in Vice President Kamala Harris, a leader whose candidacy represents a beacon of hope for all Americans who believe in justice, equality, and the fundamental principles of our republic. The overwhelming grassroots support she has already received, with over $100 million raised from small donors, many of whom are first-time contributors, is a testament to the widespread belief in her leadership and the urgent need for change.

Kamala Harris has received near-universal endorsement from key national Democratic figures, many of whom were previously considered challengers for the nomination after Biden’s decision. This collective support underscores the unity and determination within the Democratic Party to ensure a victory for democracy in the upcoming election.

Our fight is not just at the top of the ticket. We must elect Democrats up and down the ballot. The opposing candidate and the extremist party that supports him has devolved into a personality cult leaving us with an existential threat to our democratic institutions and values.

We face critical battles in Riverside County. Response from Democrats throughout Riverside County has been nothing short of astounding, with new volunteers and even former Republicans stepping forward to join our cause. We have an amazing slate of candidates, from those running for the Senate, Congress and state-level offices to those Democrats seeking positions on board of Supervisors, city council, school boards, water districts, healthcare districts and judicial seats. These dedicated leaders are committed to fighting for affordable healthcare, voting rights, women’s rights, social justice, common sense gun reform, fair taxation, and so much more.

We call on all citizens who cherish democracy to join us. This is a time for action, for standing up, and for making our voices heard. Let us work together to ensure that Kamala Harris is elected President, and that Democrats are elected to every office, from local to national. Together, we can restore integrity to our government, and secure the rights and freedoms that define us.

This is our moment. Let us seize it with the courage and conviction that the times demand.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like

On Thursday, May 30, 2024, after weeks of testimony and days of deliberation in a New York courtroom, former president Trump was found guilty on thirty-four felony counts.

Twelve courageous men and women served as jurors, braving the constant threat of retribution from Trump and his followers. The jury turned in a verdict of “guilty” on all counts of influencing the outcome of the 2016 election.  Trump is now the first convicted ex-president in American history. Sentencing will occur in July.

This day is historic on many levels. It shows that no one is above the law, even a former President.  Faith in our justice system is restored when those who have held the most powerful office in the land are held accountable for their crimes. The systems put in place by the founders of our nation ensure that elections and jury trials are decided by the common citizen. Every one of us possesses the same courage that the New York jury showed as they continued to serve, ignoring the commentary coming from Trump despite his gag order. Threats came from his adult sons, Trump followers, and former insurrectionists, who promised to make January 6th look like a training day if they lost this November.

Instead, we push forward as those jurors did. They did their job in the courtroom; now we have a job to do in November. We celebrate the verdict knowing that it sets the stage for future trials of Trump’s greater crimes. We celebrate yet know that we still must turn out in the greatest numbers we can muster for a November victory. No one can sit this election out. Trump’s followers are more motivated than ever before. They’ll be there to gaslight bully, and terrify us, attempting to stop us from voting.

Let this jury of twelve men and women be an inspiration. They did their job in carrying this trial through to its ultimate goal: justice. This battle for upholding Democracy was won.

Together, let’s win the war.
