Full story

We’re long past the time for opining about wealth inequality, global warming, nuclear Armageddon, or any of the other catastrophes we’re facing. If nothing else, this pandemic, this racial explosion, this economic collapse—and Trump’s responses, his venality, ignorance and incompetence—make it clear we are not cultural anthropologists living with the natives and writing essays (or Facebook posts) on our findings. No, this is it. The unique make or break moment.

Either we get rid of this monster and his gang of murderers, thieves and traitors or we’re all dead, along with our children, our parents, and anyone else we care about. Any hope for moving back from the abyss, restoring the rule of law, and achieving a more progressive society will vanish. Nothing else matters. If it isn’t already too late, time absolutely runs out on November 3.  

We’re offering this plan so we can all do something useful. You may think you can’t do much more than hope for the best and vote—if the Republicans let us. But especially now, this feeling of being a helpless spectator is wrong.

With your help, this campaign will target different population segments in one or two battleground states, Florida first, and depending on whether we can raise a bit of money and get enough people involved, Pennsylvania and/or Michigan. Given the razor-thin margins in the states we plan to target, we are confident we can do something meaningful.

All funds raised will go towards our social-media campaign, aimed to influence targeted voters in selected swing states. Our objective is to help push those states into Joe Biden's column, as well as to help U.S. Senate candidates who are in much tighter races. Our messages on Facebook and possibly Instagram will link to the Fed Up New Yorkers website.
