Gavin Newsom Launches ‘Campaign for Democracy,’ Plans To Go to States ‘Where Freedom Is Most Under Attack’

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: “Let’s be direct: We can’t solve a problem without first identifying it. And the problem in our country right now? Authoritarian leaders who are so hell-bent on gaining power and keeping it by whatever means necessary, that they’re directly attacking our freedoms in state after state. That’s why I’m launching the Campaign for Democracy. We’re going on the road to take the fight to states where freedom is most under attack. Where Republican leaders ban books, criminalize doctors, fire teachers, intimidate librarians, kidnap migrants, target trans kids, stoke racism, condone anti-Semitism, force the victims of rape and incest to carry their attacker’s baby. Where they ignore the will of the people. They make it harder to vote and easier to buy assault weapons. They fan the flames of culture wars to distract from the fact that blue states have lower murder rates, better health care outcomes, and higher GDPs. We’re going to these states and investing in people and organizations where they’re fighting back.”
