Good People,
Thank you for EVERY effort you made to turn out the overseas American vote. Our Democrats Abroad Global Black Caucus Get Out The Vote Team was represented by every region. I am proud of and grateful for your work.
I'm sure I'm not the only one still gutted and regrouping post-election. It's tough. Some of us are angry. We all know the consequences.
Some of us have to console our children who voted for the first time as they learn a Civic lesson and brace to witness a 2nd term of what we fear will be unpleasant for the lack of a better word.
Others have already gotten up, and are analyzing what happened and why and who we need to engage now ahead of the 2026 Midterms.
YES!
We already have to start that necessary work.
I encourage you to make rest part of the resistance. Rest your mind, body and soul. Refill your cup first before you help others.
Losing a battle is not new to us. We're tired of it, for sure. "Sick and tired of being sick and tired." - Fannie Lou Hammer
But we're in this fight for the long haul. General Harriet Tubman, Maryland National Guard, would look at us and say, "Never wound a snake kill it".
2 African American women Senators-elect: Alsobrooks and Blunt. We did that! That's for us, Black Women. Along with Kamala, and Michelle before her, we endured the attacks and insults right along with them. We know that when Black Women lead, everyone benefits.
So again, make rest a part of the resistance.
Best,
Adrianne
