Project launch for BOLD:
The Bold Alliance is a network of “small and mighty” groups in rural states working to protect land and water. We fight fossil fuel projects, protect landowners against eminent domain abuse, and work for clean energy solutions while building an engaged base of citizens who care about the land, water, and climate change.
Oh Nebraska (and nation). Lots on the line in these old midterms. Here is some stuff to care about. And also, just to say it plain, Republicans got nothing.
They are liars and cheaters who tried to steal the last election. If you think they’re done with their anti democratic tendencies, I just don’t know where you’ve been living the last couple years. Anyone who is so hellbent on taking rights away from people (abortion, voting, marriage) and continues to use their power to pick on groups who don’t have much (trans, migrant, students) is certainly not fixing the economy.
You can tell a lot by the pawns people go out of their way to use. The economy doesn’t work if it doesn’t work for everyone, simple as that. It’s a long road to get to where we need to be, best not drive us in a ditch now.
Project launch for Campaign Zero:
Qualified immunity protects the police from civil liability when they violate an individual’s constitutional rights. People harmed, injured, or killed by police rarely receive justice or compensation for damages. Victims of police misconduct and their families often spend years in court seeking justice only for officers to be shielded by qualified immunity. Many cases don’t make it to trial at all.
I feel very fortunate to be amongst such a great group of people. Looking forward to November 19th!

Project launch for BOLD:
Hi, it’s Nebraska. You know those moments when you gotta leave it all on the field? Well, this is one of those moments. SHARE images of cool candidates. TALK to your buds about the election. And then get ready to VOTE.
When freedom is attacked, vote for democracy. These times we’re living in are certainly threatening, but I think we’ll prevail. And there will be a future for those who come after us. To ensure that happens, get out there into the political process, mix it up, and do what you can. And then vote. The right to the future is freedom, and the right to vote is freedom.
