Yesterday a voter at a door told two of our canvassers with a smile “you guys are relentless.”
We have to be. Knocking, calling, post-carding, rallying, and word-of-mouthing, we’re relentless in protecting democracy. Because as we’ve pointed out in these pages, Congress is on the line, our State is on the line, and that means the rights of Americans and New Yorkers are on the line.
Reproductive freedom.
The freedom to vote.
The right to marry the person you love.
The right to choose which books you read.
Freedom to grow old with dignity.
The right to healthcare.
We’re relentless because generations of Americans before us fought for freedom, and we’re not about to let them down. We’re relentless in getting out the vote because we have children and they deserve to live in freedom too. We’re relentless because we want to keep Cornwall—and the rest of America—a great place to live, for everyone.
The State and Federal opposition—election-denying, anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, increasingly antisemitic, anti-science, anti-immigrant, pro-insurrection—are relentless too.
So? Will you protect America, and vote?
