WATCH: Elizabeth Warren's message for Democrats

Since Election Day, so-called "strategists" have said that progressives and Democrats need to choose whether we're going to fight for economic justice or racial justice.

Dear MoveOn member,

Since Election Day, so-called "strategists" have said that progressives and Democrats need to choose whether we're going to fight for economic justice or racial justice.

This is a dangerous and false choice.

Earlier this month, Senator Elizabeth Warren gave a barnburner of a speech to thousands of grassroots organizers about how Democrats can win elections—while fighting for all of our shared values. Because when we stand together and fight together, we can galvanize the country, build power, and win—together.

As Sen. Warren says, "We shouldn't be wasting energy arguing about whose issue matters most or who in our alliance should be voted off the island. What Democrats really need is some backbone to get in the fight [and] to be strong when we lay out a plan to make this country work for the people instead of the powerful."

In 2018, it'll be up to MoveOn members and the progressive movement to show Democrats how to win elections with a visionary, uplifting, and inclusive agenda that rejects false choices between economic justice and racial justice; that reaffirms our commitment to a woman's right to make her own health care decisions; that rejects racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, anti-semitism, and white supremacy in all their forms; and that avoids playing into the other fault lines that those in power use to divide us from each other.

When it came to health care reform, over the past few months, Democrats showed backbone in standing up to Donald Trump and the GOP. Now, it's time for every Democratic candidate, up and down the ballot, to show backbone on—and run on—a bold and inclusive populist agenda that will inspire and mobilize our nation.

Thanks for all you're doing every day to build an inclusive country in which everybody can live with dignity and thrive.
