America Has Elected An Authoritarian. But We Can't Give Up.

The next four years will be incredibly difficult, but we will get through this. We in the pro-democracy coalition have to be strong for those who can’t be. We’re the leaders we’re waiting for.

Donald Trump has won a second term. Republicans took the Senate and could also take the House. For those who are aware of the stakes, this is the worst-case scenario. The consequences of this election will reverberate for generations.

I’ll be writing countless articles in the coming weeks, months, and years as we analyze, expose, and push back against Donald Trump’s authoritarian actions. But first, I thought I’d create a video that spoke directly to those of you who have been actively opposing Trump for years and are exhausted and afraid after this loss.

We were warned, and America still bought into Trump’s disinformation fueled-con and elected an authoritarian. This is hard to accept. But we can’t give up. We in the pro-democracy coalition have to be strong for those who can’t be. We have to lock in and keep working. We’re the guardrails now. We’re the leaders we’re waiting for.

I’ll have more to say in the coming days and weeks, but for now, take some time to take care of yourselves. You left it all on the field fighting to get Kamala Harris in office, and you should take pride in that.

With love and appreciation,

Ahmed
