In what has been a rather tough week, we are still in awe of the hundreds who were arrested in DC for voting rights, and revel in the power of a single woman — Rep. Cori Bush — sleeping on the steps of the Capitol and demanding the evictions moratorium be extended. She won a huge victory with her impassioned plea.

Then along came the extension on student debt relief.

While the road towards the change we need is a long one, we do see victories if we just stay the course and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Let’s all work together this upcoming week to bring home more victories!
