Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.
Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

The GOP just passed a bill that’s a direct attack on working families. It’s the largest wealth transfer to the ultra-rich in U.S. history, and it’s only the beginning. We can’t let this slide. We must fight back, organize, and demand a system that works for all of us.
