“This is no time for Democratic Party business as usual. Our urgent message to the DNC is – wake up, this is an emergency.”
By RootsAction and Progressive Democrats of America
Two national grassroots organizations have launched a petition drive emphatically urging the Democratic National Committee to convene an emergency meeting.
Progressive Democrats of America and RootsAction began gathering signers of the petition on Wednesday, warning that “the Democratic Party has failed to confront the urgency of this perilous moment for the future of the United States.”
The petition says that the DNC, the governing body of the Democratic Party, “should convene an emergency meeting of all its members – fully open to the public – as soon as possible. Waiting until the next regular meeting in late summer would be irresponsible and unacceptable.”
The petition adds: “Business as usual must give way to truly bold action that mobilizes against the autocracy that Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their cronies are further entrenching every day. The predatory, extreme and dictatorial actions of the Trump administration call for an all-out commensurate response, which so far has been terribly lacking from the Democratic Party.”
Progressive Democrats of America executive director Alan Minsky said Wednesday: “Millions upon millions of Americans are doubly appalled. They not only are watching the Trump administration stage a coup, but they also feel the political opposition is not doing enough to protect our democratic republic. We call upon the DNC to hold an emergency meeting so that, like a truly democratic opposition, it can draw upon the idealism of the American people to defend all that is great about our society.”
RootsAction’s national director, Norman Solomon, said: “The daily avalanches of massive abuses and lawless actions by the Trump administration have created what amounts to a state of emergency. Step by step, in effect, the regime is proceeding to shred the Constitution of the United States. This is no time for Democratic Party business as usual. Our urgent message to the DNC is – wake up, this is an emergency.”
