Applaud Sen. Booker for Speaking Truth and Inspiring Action

Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, followed by his moving town hall in New Jersey, was a powerful act of moral leadership at a time when the country desperately needs it. With clarity, compassion, and conviction, he stood up to the Trump administration’s assault on our democracy, our institutions, and our most vulnerable communities.

Booker’s message was simple but urgent: this is not a moment to sit on the sidelines. From cuts to Medicaid and Social Security, to attacks on civil rights, immigrants, and public services — he reminded us that this is a fight for the soul of our nation. His speech gave voice to the millions of Americans who feel abandoned, unheard, and afraid. His town hall brought that message home, showing that elected leaders can and must stand shoulder to shoulder with the people they serve.

He didn’t just speak out — he listened. He challenged us not only to care, but to act: to organize, speak up, and push back against injustice in whatever way we can.

We applaud Senator Booker’s courage and moral clarity. We thank him for using his platform to lift up the stories of everyday Americans and ignite a national conversation about what kind of country we want to be. His leadership reminds us that democracy is not a spectator sport — and we are ready to join him in the fight.

Senator Booker, thank you for your strength, your vision, and your unshakable belief in the power of the people. We stand with you.
