It is with profound sorrow that we issue the following statement on the passing of Congressman Raúl Grijalva @repraulgrijalva.bsky.social, a true statesman for the Environmental Community. 🤍🕊️

Last year, I received the beautiful gift of getting to organize with the one and only @janefonda.com - author, activist and climate leader extraordinaire. Now, I am so grateful to receive her endorsement for #DNCViceChair! 1/3

In 2024, I spoke at more than 50 events across the country, promoting the Democratic Party, our initiatives and our candidates. Speaking with voters face-to-face is crucial.

For Democrats to win again we need to listen to voters. That's why I'm calling for a sober, comprehensive, data and listening-driven analysis of elections over the past decade in order to understand what we can do better. I made the case at the DNC Southern Region Vice Chair forum.

More urgent than ever to have someone with Michelle’s skills, domain knowledge, and networks in DNC leadership. #MichelleForDNCVP

In 2024, I visited over a dozen states and territories in support of Democratic candidates and initiatives. State and local parties, councils and caucuses are most effective when they have strong support from the national level. #Democrat #StateParty

President Jimmy Carter was a servant leader in the best possible way. A model of decency and humanity. A leader in word and deed. A champion for human rights whose legacy extended long past his presidency to his entire life - redefining what post-presidential service could achieve. A very good man.

I spoke at the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor on poverty and housing - and in recognition of UN International #HumanRightsDay. The A2 Rotary Club offers real action, real hope and real difference in our community. I am grateful to have been part of this day!

Happy first day of Kwanzaa! May your week be full of family, community and joy. #HappyKwanzaa

This election made it crystal clear: We need to invest more in Democratic Party youth organizations like @youngdems.bsky.social, High School Democrats of America and College Democrats of America. #Youth #Democrat #YoungLeaders

2/2 Feeling both determined and inspired: we have work to do to build a stronger Democratic Party. Grateful to have amazing people like these to work alongside. Thank you Joe Biden for the invitation and beautiful evening. #HappyHolidays #Democrats #DNC

Celebrating the holidays at the #WhiteHouse with other dedicated Democratic leaders like DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Co-Chair Jim Roosevelt, OK Dem Party Chair Alicia Andrews (@aliciaandrews.bsky.social), VT Dem Party Chair David Glidden and NM Dem Party Chair Jessica Velasquez. 1/2

My candidacy for DNC Vice Chair was covered by @politico.com this morning. The DNC must lead on ways to rebuild, organize and re-invigorate the Democratic Party. And I am ready to get to work. #DNC #Democrat www.politico.com/newsletters/...

At the DNC Rules and Bylaws meeting in DC, where the Committee deliberated on rules for #DNC leadership elections, where I'm running for Vice Chair! Grateful for the leadership of Committee Chair Jim Roosevelt, Minyon Moore & DNC Chair Jamie Harrison. #Democrats

Excellent piece from the Council's Youth Engagement Director on the power of local #ClimateAction 👏 "Local action creates ripples that inspire a national wave of sustainable development." - @paulprez914.bsky.social, who is also the Young Democrats Enviro Caucus Chair www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

2/2 I am running to serve as Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee because I believe the DNC must lead the fight to rebuild, reform, and re-invigorate the Democratic Party. Join me in this fight and together we can build a stronger Democratic Party. www.michellefordnc.com

I am a union member, a farmer, a battleground state organizer, a national environmental and labor advocate, and a former elected leader who flipped a three-term rural red seat to blue. 1/2

Children under 5 may bear as much as 88% of the global burden of disease exacerbated by #ClimateChange. #WorldChildrensDay was yesterday, but every day is Children's Day. And children around the world deserve a sustainable planet and future. Ways to learn more & act: www.unicef.org/world-childr...

"This is the new normal" - but there is no new normal with regard to climate and its weather manifestations. The new normal is that there is no normal. 230+ brushfires in NYC in 3 weeks. Wow. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

The Biden-Harris Administration is advocating for urgent #ClimateAction at #COP29 this week in Azerbaijan. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...
