Thank Senator Cory Booker for His Courageous Stand

We express our deep gratitude and admiration for Senator Cory Booker, whose extraordinary overnight speech on the Senate floor stands as a powerful act of conscience and leadership in a time of national crisis.

For more than 20 hours and counting, Senator Booker has refused to sit down, leave his post, or allow the Senate to proceed with business as usual—all in protest of the dangerous and destabilizing policies enacted by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Senator Booker has given voice to millions of Americans—Democrats, Republicans, and independents—who are alarmed by attacks on Social Security, cuts to Medicaid, the gutting of USAID, the erosion of civil rights, and the degradation of decency in public life. By reading letters from constituents, invoking the legacy of John Lewis, and calling attention to the deep harm already inflicted in the early months of Trump’s second term, he has brought moral clarity and urgency to a moment that demands nothing less.

His refusal to remain silent, his stamina, and his unwavering dedication to justice and democracy are nothing short of heroic. At a time when so many Americans feel unheard or powerless, Senator Booker has shown what it means to fight—with grace, grit, and an unshakable belief in a better future.

We also thank the senators who have stood beside him—asking questions, offering support, and amplifying his message. This is what leadership looks like.

Senator Booker, thank you for your voice. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your service. We’re with you. Keep going.
