Dear progressive movement,

As I reflect on the past few weeks, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the incredible strides our progressive movement has made and continues to make. Our collective impact in improving the material conditions of working families of all races and from every walk of life in America is unmistakable.

After all, that is the entire reason for this movement. We are on a journey — united on a mission to center the poor, the working poor and the barely middle class. I call that journey our “justice journey.”
