We Are Fighting for the Right to Exist!!!!!!!

Essence Johnson | Published on 3/6/2025

Cobb County Democratic Committee is issuing a clear and urgent call to action: Hold every elected official accountable—no matter which side of the aisle they sit on.


We are not just fighting for policy changes or political victories—we are fighting for our very right to exist.


MAGA extremists, backed by corporate elites and right-wing billionaires, have enacted orders and policies that seek to erase our voices, our communities, and our future. They are not just attacking individual freedom; they are actively working to dismantle democracy itself. Through legislative action, judicial appointments, and executive orders, they are rolling back decades of progress in civil rights, workers' protections, and social justice.


Here is what has been taken away, so far:

  • Education Under Attack
  • DEI Programs Eliminated
  • LGBTQ+ Rights Rolled Back
  • Civil Rights Under Threat
  • Farmers & Small Businesses Suffering
  • Environmental Justice Under Attack
  • Nonprofits & Government Workers Targeted
  • Anti-Immigrant Policies Expanded
  • Healthcare & Social Services Cut
  • Workers 'Rights Undermined
  • Public Funding Gutted
  • Freedom of Speech & Protest Silenced

This is not just about politics. This is about survival.


MAGA Has Enacted Orders to Erase Us!!!!!!!!

Republicans, under MAGA control on the federal and state, have launched a coordinated attack against anyone who does not fit into their vision of an authoritarian future.

They are using the power of the state to force their extremist agenda on all of us, and we must fight back.

No Seat is Safe!!!!


If you are an elected official federal, state or local—Democrat or Republican—and you are not actively fighting against this extremism, we are coming for your seat.

  • If you are voting against Democratic values, your seat is not safe.

  • If you are staying silent while our rights are under attack, your seat is not safe.

  • If you are refusing to fight for our communities, your seat is not safe.

  • If you are prioritizing corporate interests over the people, your seat is not safe.

We will not allow elected officials to hide behind party labels or personal agenda. If you are not standing with us, you are standing against us.


This Fight Belongs to All of Us—And We Need Our Allies

We need people from every background, every faith, every industry, and every community to take action. This is the time to standup. This is the time to fight back.


CCDC needs you to:

Write to your elected officials. Demand that they protect our rights and reject extremist policies. Click for templates

Organize in your community. Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family—spread the truth about what’s at stake. Click for ways to volunteer

Show up for ALL elections especially locally. Mayors, city councils, schoolboards, and county commissioners decide the policies that impact us every day. Remember we have a runoff on March 11th for D2 and a General Election on April 29th for D2 and D4.

Run for office in 2025 and 2026. We need people who believe in justice, equity, and fairness to take power. Whether it’s school board, city council, state house or Congress—if you want change, be the change.

Prepare for 2026. The Democrats and Republicans responsible for this destruction will be held accountable. We will not forget. We will organize. And we will vote them out.


We will not be erased. We will not be silenced. We will not back down.
