"What we say now is critical. Elections are decided by those who are only paying attention now. We must set the agenda, lead with data centers, blame the cost-of-living on corruption, convince voters we will stand up to monopoly power, avoid safety net debates, and hold Republicans accountable."

Reminding people to vote is great, but we still need to give them a reason to vote and to vote for us. The people we most need to reach do not follow the news. A protest or overpass sign may be the only message they see this cycle. The best signs tell people what we stand for and do it simply.
