The results are not what we wanted…but still we will rise.

There is no denying that the results of this election are not what we wanted or that today is a very, very hard day.

We hope you are taking care of yourself in this difficult moment. Take the time you need to breathe, exercise, gather with loved ones, and reflect on the many positive aspects of your life for which you are grateful. Try to find some joy and comfort in your day. Take as much time as you need and want.

Please also recognize that we did amazing work this year – we built on our previous successes here in WA state, and the results show in the many races we won here at home. We know change can happen and, as our friends from Indivisible Marin shared earlier today, we hope you take heart in remembering that eight years ago, on an identical morning, we did not have each other. We were alone in our shock and disappointment. This morning, we have a broad coalition representing hundreds of thousands of engaged citizens. We will not give up. We will continue, with your help, the work we have been doing for eight years: Taking action to help build a more just, caring and inclusive America.

We will spend the coming days in communication and collaboration with Indivisible National and a wide range of movement partners to assess and develop next steps. In case you haven’t seen it, here is Ezra’s opening salvo, “Democracy is in peril but not lost”.

Finally, we know that we are stronger together so we encourage you to join in community for the two online calls listed below and hope to see you on Saturday for our Community Meeting.

In Solidarity.
