Democracy Under Attack
Our Choice was either a democracy that is increasingly equitable and healthy or an autocracy that embraces the values of the Dark Ages .
A stark comparison of the two 2024 presidential candidates can be seen HERE.
The Democratic Party fights for cleaner, sustainable environment, universal healthcare, economic justice, quality education for all, worker empowerment, greater safety from gun violence, compassionate and comprehensive immigration policy, freedom of health choices, and benefits for the public good.
The Trump-captured GOP plans to implement Project 2025, a plan created by a powerful, ultra-Conservative, billionaire-led coterie. Project 2025 agenda will corrupt and debilitate every institution of our democracy, and bring about increased income inequality, a nationwide ban on abortion, further erosion of human rights including marriage equality, more mass shootings, and accelerated rate of destruction of our environment.

A team of MCDC members created detailed summary of Project 2025, which can be viewed HERE.

Democrats Delivered
The last Democratic administration made dramatic progress in carrying out their vision of strength, equity and opportunity. Two useful resources for understanding the scope of their accomplishments can be seen in this interactive map of 73,000 projects (web page was destroyed by Trump, but Biden had archived it), and in this LIST of programs and actions Democrats enacted.
