The Election was a rebuke of an Anti-Democratic, Anti-Poverty, and Anti-Equity Movement led by the current administration

To be Equal

- Marc H. Morial, President and CEO National Urban League

On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Americans took the first step toward turning the page on this dark chapter of our history by voting for state and municipal leaders committed to our advancement, our democracy, and standing up to an increasingly authoritarian government.

2025 has been an emotional year for Americans. It began with wildfires that brought one of our most beautiful cities to a standstill, followed by the inauguration of an administration that immediately began turning back the clock on American life as we've come to know it.

In the first nine months of this administration, we've seen planes crash without remorse or consolation from our leadership, the erosion of our privacy at the benefit of big tech and surveillance, our cities invaded by our military, the federal workforce and military leadership gutted, and executive orders that dismantle the equity principles that define what it means to be American.

Perhaps the most broadly felt pain has been the continued assault on our economy by tariffs and unregulated artificial intelligence that has led to record unemployment on the heels of the most extended government shutdown in American history.
