This is the speech that won us 63% of the vote at Denver county assembly, beating DeGette for the first time in 30 years. A better world is within our reach, so let’s honor the organizers and dreamers that came before us and build it together.

Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”

When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.

Congrats to Justice Democrat @MelatKirosCO on defeating a 30-year incumbent in #CO01 tonight! Melat built a movement that inspired Denverites to remember they have the power to transform what kind of Party they want to be represented by. They chose one for & by the people.

Tomorrow Melat Kiros could be the next progressive to shake the political establishment. After democratic socialists won huge elections in New York, critics asked if they could win elsewhere. Melat could answer that question tomorrow in Colorado's Democratic primaries.

Denver! Today you have the chance to send a real fighter to DC. I am so proud of my sister @MelatKirosCO and the movement she has built. I am rooting for Melat, and her race has many similarities to ours here in Detroit. Here's why it matters for us too. 🧵

All of the energy is behind @MelatKirosCO, who has run a hard-fought campaign in Colorado. She will be contributing everything we could ask for from a house member not only living up to the present moment, but also creating a positive framework for the future. Get out the vote!
