National Day of Mourning on January 9
Rest in peace, Mr. Carter. Your lifetime of service, compassion, patriotism, and community will never be forgotten. You, together with your wife Rosalynn, leave behind an enduring legacy that espouses the best of America and the Democratic Party. It is fitting that the flags over Washington, DC will fly at half mast in your honor while a convicted criminal and adjudicated rapist who represents the worst of America is sworn in to occupy the Oval Office. All Democrats join together to celebrate your life of integrity and service.
Thank you for your superlative work as our Vice President, for running an amazing and inspiring campaign for President, and for presiding over the peaceful transfer of power with grace, class, and dignity (traits totally lacking in your Republican colleagues). Thank you for being willing to stand up to the fascism, criminality, and corruption of the Republican Party and the racist, hateful MAGA movement that is working to destroy this country. We look forward to supporting you in whatever you choose to do next!
First and foremost, we all owe President Biden an enormous debt of gratitude for the unparalleled progress he has delivered over the last four years. He has been one of the most effective and consequential Presidents to ever lead our nation. Joe represents the best of America--patriotism, dedication, compassion, empathy, and an unshakable faith in the potential of the American people.
Thanks, President Biden, for always working to make things better for all Americans! You will be greatly missed and history will be very, very kind to you.
Thanks for your support!
Economic Opportunity
Democrats have created millions of good-paying jobs over the last three years, helping our country, state, and county recover from the pandemic. But more must be done to ensure economic security for all. This includes protecting Social Security and Medicare--programs YOU pay for--from attacks by extremist MAGA Republicans.
Reproductive Rights
The overturn of Roe v. Wade stripped reproductive freedom from many people. We will work to keep New York a safe haven for access to abortion, birth control, fertility treatments, and other forms of reproductive healthcare currently under attack across the country.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: Dems to reject Trump-backed policy provisions in CR
