While we’ve always known he was guilty and we’ve always hoped this day would come, it is a huge deal that we are finally see an ounce of accountability. This is a historic moment in the fight for our democracy and an absolute victory for accountability and the rule of law.
We all know that Trump and his MAGA cronies will attack this verdict. They will spin, spin, spin. They will attack the judge, the jurors, the law. The will flood the zone with disinformation to try to convince the public this doesn’t matter or isn’t real. They will tear down our democratic institutions in an effort to protect their dear leader.
Do not let them. Repeat the truth. Let it shine through. Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Found guilty on all 34 counts by every single juror. Found guilty of interfering with an election - with his own election. Repeat this truth.
This verdict is a call to action. It’s a reminder of what we’re up against. The work we collectively do to defeat him in November is the final and most crucial line of defense between this country and another fascistic Trump presidency.

Tanneshia Dukes (endorsed by Indivisible Guilford County) would be replacing a Republican who never really represented the district, was one of the architects of the infamous HB-2 "Bathroom Bill," and has been a strong proponent of gerrymandering and school vouchers. Tanneshia is fighting for the real issues that impact North Carolinians:
Education: She's a former assistant principal who believes in fully funding public education, including early childhood education and increasing teacher pay.
Herb Jones (endorsed by Williamsburg JCC Indivisible) has lived a life of dedication and loyalty to his country, even in his post-military career. He has proven he can rise to the occasion when tested -- he doesn't need to learn how to make the right choice because he already makes them! Herb has always put his country first and recognizes there are red lines one should never cross in pursuit of one's career. His choices in life show us the content of his character.
Herb has proven over and over again he will always honor his oaths. We trust him not only to represent us with utmost integrity in Congress, we also trust him with our lives. Herb has stood by our side on the frontlines for eight years, helping to lead the charge at rallies and marches for democracy, women's rights (including copious hours in Richmond helping to make Virginia the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment), Handmaids demonstrations, the freedom of choice, (cont.)
January 6th vigils, support of Ukraine, anti-gun violence, voting rights, immigration, infrastructure, LGBTQIA+ rights, the filibuster, the MAGA Default Crisis, the fight for DC Statehood, climate action, healthcare, fair wages, and more. We are living in a precarious age which allows no time for a learning curve. We need a candidate who is ready on day one to serve our nation and that candidate in VA-01 is Retired Colonel Herb Jones!
Our groups’ latest endorsements are a sign of their commitment to finding and supporting Democratic fighters who will defend democracy and champion the will of the people come November, whether that’s enshrining reproductive freedoms on a federal level or fighting for the dignity of all people across a single city.
