Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
