NJ school district says it mistakenly released names of elementary students who were opted out of controversial sex-ed program



The public school district in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, said it mistakenly released the names of close to 100 elementary students whose families opted them out of a controversial sex-education program last year, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The families of an additional 82 children also were notified that their names may have been released, Cherry Hill Public Schools Superintendent Kwame Morton said last week, the Inquirer added.

'A lot of parents are upset. Somebody needs to be held accountable.'

The paper said the elementary students' names were released in September 2023 after an Open Public Records Act request seeking information about how many parents were excluding their children from the state's controversial new standards on sex education, which include information about gender identity, puberty, and masturbation.

The Inquirer said Morton acknowledged the mistake and noted that the names were removed last week from the OPRAmachine, which assists requesters with accessing public records and is where the 2023 request had been filed.

Morton said the names were redacted in the district’s PDF files but showed up when the OPRAmachine converted the files to a different format, the paper reported. The district used an incorrect redaction procedure, which allowed the names to appear despite being blacked out, Charlie Kratovil, an OPRAmachine leader, added to the Inquirer.

Once district lawyers were made aware of the issue, the paper said they sent a letter to the OPRAmachine to get the names removed. Morton told the Inquirer that the district has implemented new security measures, and employees were retrained on confidentiality rules.

“In no way shape or form was the intention to release any names,” Morton told the paper last week. ”The important thing is not ever is it our intention to harm any child.”

Harvey Vazquez — a parent and former school board candidate — submitted an online complaint last month asking the U.S. Department of Education to investigate whether the district violated the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, which protects students’ privacy and education records, the Inquirer said.

More from the paper:

Vazquez, whose 6-year-old son was on the opt-out list, brought up the issue last month at a school board meeting, where Morton says he was first made aware.

Vazquez said the students whose names were made public without parental consent attended Russell Knight, Bret Harte, Richard Stockton, and Thomas Paine elementary schools. A parent notified the district about the release of the names in November 2023, but nothing was done, he said.

Morton confirmed that no action was taken, but said he was not informed about the release at the time.

“A lot of parents are upset,” Vazquez told the Inquirer. “Somebody needs to be held accountable.”

More from the paper:

The unauthorized disclosure came to light during a hotly contested race for three school board seats in Cherry Hill among Vazquez and nine others. Vazquez said he discovered the release after he began investigating the New Jersey Public Education Coalition, which labeled three other candidates in the race as “like-minded.” Vazquez narrowly lost.

The coalition, which touts itself as a nonpartisan group of educators, parents, and other stakeholders, made the OPRA request as part of a statewide project surveying districts. The group wanted to dispute claims that a majority of New Jersey parents had opted out of the new sex-education standards, said its founder Michael Gottesman.

The revised guidelines, which took effect in 2022, prompted an outcry from some parents. The state allowed districts to decide whether to amend their curricula to meet the expectations of what students should learn by the end of second, fifth, eighth, and 12th grade. Parents who believe the instruction conflicts with their moral or religious beliefs may have the student excused from that portion of the course.

Gottesman told the Inquirer that an outside vendor analyzed the coalition’s survey results, and the coalition never saw the students’ names. He added to the paper that he hadn't learned that the names had been disclosed until recently.

“As a coalition, we would never release that type of information,” Gottesman noted to the Inquirer.

Bridget Palmer — one of the newly elected Cherry Hill school board members — told the paper, “There is no arguing that there was a huge mistake made. You can’t undo what has already been done, but we can take steps to make sure it never happens again.”

Vazquez noted to the Inquirer that he wants the district to better explain how the lapse occurred and enact discipline against anyone who was responsible: “There needs to be a public apology. That’s the least they can do.”

California Democrats Claim To Protect Kids While Hiding Gender ‘Transitions’ From Parents

California voters should recognize the gap between the Democrats' rhetoric on the new social media law and their actions when it comes to protecting children.

'Peak gaslighting': Desperate California teachers characterize parental rights candidates as untrustworthy



The prospect of greater transparency and restored parental involvement in children's education appears to have panicked a gang of teachers from California's Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

Parental rights advocates emphasized to Blaze News that this desperation is yet another signal the tide is turning in favor of parents.

English teacher Matt Armstrong of Newport Harbor High School and a multitude of fellow travelers in the district released an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times' Daily Pilot on Thursday blasting those candidates now seeking election to the NMUSD board of trustees who would dare protect parental rights.

Although Armstrong and the op-ed's signatories refrained from naming the candidates outright, they appear to have been referring to Philip Stemler in Trustee Area 3 and Amy Peters in Trustee Area 6.

"We understand that it's fashionable in some circles to criticize public institutions and vilify teachers," wrote Armstrong and company. "With that in mind, the undersigned teachers and I want to make clear that proclaiming 'parental rights' is code for two goals: to lord over our community's teachers and to censor materials available to students."

According to the opinion piece, parents "have not been deprived of any rights" but threaten to upend Democratic laws intended to keep parents in the dark about consequential decisions regarding their children and to foist racial and LGBT propaganda on children.

Corey A. DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project and executive director at the Cato Institute's Center for Educational Freedom, told Blaze News, "Their claim that parents haven't been deprived of any rights is peak gaslighting. California politicians are fighting to keep secrets from public school parents"

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) ratified the so-called AB 1955, the so-called SAFETY Act, in July.

'They think they own other people's children.'

The law, first introduced by gay Assemblyman Christopher Ward (D) and championed by the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, prohibits school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools from introducing or enforcing rules, regulations, or policies that require employees to disclose to parents "any information related to a pupil's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression."

On account of AB 1955, parents in NMUSD are precluded from challenging the district's policy that requires educators to hide a child's so-called "transgender or gender-nonconforming status" from their parents when "appropriate."

Armstrong and company alleged in their op-ed:

If elected, these people will overrule the qualifications and experience of the educators in our schools by adopting policies intended to challenge California law. They would use their position of public trust on our nonpartisan local school board to pursue a partisan agenda to upend the California SAFETY Act. Such grandstanding will subject our district to costly litigation on a losing case. This is where 'defending parental rights' will lead us.

According to her candidate statement, Peters, a mother of three and former educator, not only wants to address the suboptimal academic outcomes in the district and its "poor fiscal health" but to "work to restore the partnership between parents and educators, and to ensure that transparent and response governance and leadership is prioritized."

The Daily Pilot indicated that Peters has been openly critical of AB 1955.

"I don't think we should be keeping that information from parents," she said at a recent forum hosted by the Harbor Council PTA at Back Bay High School. "The secrecy that's happening on school campuses drives a wedge between schools and parents and teachers and children."

Stemler, a father of two and San Bernardino County deputy district attorney endorsed by Newport Beach Mayor Will O'Neill, similarly emphasized the need for transparency in his candidate statement, noting further that "when it comes to the issues facing today's students, family is the solution, not the problem."

Stemler added, "Parental and family involvement is vital for student success. We must end policies driving a wedge between parents and students."

Both Stemler and Peters have reportedly expressed an interest in challenging state laws that undermine parental rights.

"The blizzard of state laws and regulations that are governing our schools are the reason why you need someone like me, who has experience in court and litigating and standing up for what's right," said Stemler.

After warning that if parental rights advocates were elected, choices over what students read might be localized, Armstrong and company claimed, "Those who 'fight for parental rights' don't really care about your rights or your children."

Blaze News reached out to Peters and Stemler for comment but did not receive a response by deadline.

DeAngelis told Blaze News that the claims in the op-ed "raise serious red flags. Government school employees attacking parental rights in education are the ones who cannot be trusted."

"They think they own other people's children," continued DeAngelis. "It's time for parents to hold these tyrants accountable at the ballot box."

'They look at parents as dangerous and think they should get out of the way.'

Alvin Lui, president of the parental rights advocacy group Courage Is a Habit, told Blaze News that the "gas-lighting tactics" employed in the op-ed are now customarily advanced by government educators and administrators in K-12 — by those convinced "it's the parents that shouldn't be trusted; that they're the ones that know better."

Lui noted that the mounting pushback from parents across the nation is partly the result of such brazen anti-parent sentiment in the school system.

"The schools aren't even hiding how much they disdain parental rights," said Lui. "[Educators] believe that they know better than the parents. They believe that their values are better, that the parents are backwards or bigots. ... They look at parents as dangerous and think they should get out of the way."

This op-ed is another "great example of why more parents should push back even harder," added Lui. "It's a classic manipulator tactic: DARVO, which is deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender. That's exactly what they're doing."

Like Lui, DeAngelis noted a silver lining about the current battle in the schools.

"The good news is parents have woken up and they're never going back to sleep," DeAngelis told Blaze News. "The power of parents scares the defenders of the status quo more than anything else. That's precisely why teachers unions have resorted to attacking parents who want more of a say in their children's education."

DeAngelis added that the U.S. Supreme Court "famously ruled in 1925 that 'the child is not the mere creature of the State.' California politicians would be wise to remember those words today."

Parents have constitutional right to opt kids out of non-curricular trans propaganda, court rules



A federal trial court recently delivered a victory for parental rights, recognizing their continued existence in the face of radical LGBT activists' efforts to usurp parental authority and indoctrinate other people's children.

First-grade Pennsylvania teacher Megan Williams compelled her young students to "observe" so-called Transgender Awareness Day — subjecting 6- and 7-year-old kids to non-curricular propaganda about "gender identity" and sex changes.

Williams, a Black Lives Matter activist who transitioned her own son who had been in first grade at the time, went so far as to tell the impressionable children in her care that their "parents ma[d]e a guess whether they're a boy or a girl" and may have been wrong.

Upon learning of this clandestine effort to confuse and indoctrinate their children, parents — who were provided with neither notice nor opt-outs — complained. However, the principal of Jefferson Elementary as well as the superintendent and now-retired assistant superintendent of Mt. Lebanon School District backed Williams.

'Parents have a Constitutionally protected liberty interest in the care, custody, and control of their children, including their education.'

Ostensibly left with no other option, three mothers — a Catholic, a Mormon, and a nonreligious woman, all three of whom believe in the inseparability of biological sex and gender — filed a lawsuit against Williams, the school, the district, and district officials in June 2022 with the help of the legal group Alliance Defending Freedom.

The parents sought a moratorium on the instruction in the district "on gender dysphoria and transgender transitioning"; parental notice and opt-out rights on the topic absent such a prohibition; compensatory damages; and punitive damages.

The parents' complaint noted at the outset that "parents have a Constitutionally protected liberty interest in the care, custody, and control of their children, including their education," highlighting the U.S. Supreme Court's recognition both that the "liberty" protected by the Due Process Clause includes the right of parents to "control the education of their [children] and that parents have the right "to direct the upbringing and education of children under their control."

'I'm in the right here.'

Last week, Judge Joy Conti of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania largely agreed and ruled in their favor, underscoring that:

parents have a constitutional right to reasonable and realistic advance notice and the ability to opt their elementary-age children of noncurricular instruction on transgender topics and to not have requirements for notice and opting out of those topics that are more stringent than those for other sensitive topics.

The parents, whose complaint accused Williams of "grooming" at least one vulnerable child in her classroom, were confounded by how the school and the Mt. Lebanon School District, which had previously provided parental notice and opt-out rights when it came to classroom engagements with sensitive topics — such as the Holocaust, slavery, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, sex education, Black Lives Matter, and Planned Parenthood — effectively made Williams' LGBT propaganda session mandatory.

Williams, who subsequently stressed, "I'm in the right here," took full advantage of the leeway afforded her by principal Brett Bielewicz and the district, reading two works of LGBT propaganda to her students: "Why Aidan Became a Brother" by female transvestite Kyle Lukoff and "Introducing Teddy: A Gentle Story About Gender and Friendship" by radical LGBT activist Jessica Walton.

'Williams' conduct struck at the heart of Plaintiffs' own families and their relationship with their own young children.'

The first book is about a girl whose parents let her masquerade as a boy, going so far as to let her change her name. The parents in the book tell their cross-dressing child: "When you were born, we didn't know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you helped us fix them."

The second book is about a male teddy bear that tries to become a female teddy bear.

Judge Conti noted in her ruling, "A teacher instructing first-graders and reading books to show that their parents' beliefs about their children's gender identity may be wrong directly repudiates parental authority. Williams' conduct struck at the heart of Plaintiffs' own families and their relationship with their own young children."

The judge noted that Williams usurped parental duties in an effort to inculcate her beliefs about gender ideology in the plaintiffs' children, causing confusion.

"The students' confusion in this case illustrates how difficult it is for a first-grader when a teacher's instruction conflicts with their Parents' religious and moral beliefs," wrote Conti. "The heart of parental authority on matters of the greatest importance within their own family is undermined when a teacher tells first-graders their parents may be wrong about whether the student is a boy or a girl."

Judge Conti went further, suggesting Williams' conduct "showed intolerance and disrespect for the religious or moral beliefs and authority of the Parents."

Vincent Wagner, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said in a statement, "Parents have a fundamental right to direct the upbringing and education of their children. School districts violate that right by leaving parents out of key decisions about their own children."

"Parents' fundamental, constitutional right to make decisions about how to raise their children includes the right to the information they need to make those decisions," added Wagner. "Without notice and a real chance to opt their children out of instruction like this, parents can't exercise their constitutional rights."

Blue State Bans ‘Addictive’ Social Media Content For Minors, Notifications During School Hours

'Helping protect children'

Conservative Legal Group Sues Gavin Newsom For Hiding Child Gender ‘Transitions’ From Parents

A legal non-profit is suing Gavin Newsom for prohibitions schools disclosing student requests to identify as a different gender to parents.

Democratic governor forbids Kentuckians to talk kids out of sex changes



Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order Thursday forbidding so-called "conversion therapy" for Kentucky minors.

Radicals are still permitted to groom confused children into becoming transvestites even though Republicans have thankfully banned sterilizing sex-offender drugs and irreversible genital mutilation in the state.

However, medical and mental health professionals certified or licensed to practice in the state are now effectively barred from helping kids get over their gender dysphoria and accept their bodies.

The executive order — which both echoes and cites the Trevor Project as an authority on the subject despite the falsity of one of the radical activist group's core claims — defines conversion therapy as:

any practice, treatment, or intervention that seeks or purports to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions toward individuals of the same gender.

This definition reflects the successful campaign by gender ideologues to bundle efforts to treat gender identity disorder with efforts to dissuade homosexuals from being gay.

Beshear, who unsuccessfully attempted to veto Republicans' ban on sex-change mutilations for kids last year, said, "This [EO] is about protecting our youth from an inhumane practice that hurts them."

'He can't just issue an executive order and prescribe law.'

The language of the executive order suggests that those professionals who would dare coach children through their delusions and to accept the reality of their biological sex could lose their licenses.

Beshear's order makes clear, however, that affirming a confused minor's "gender identity" and facilitating the minor's "identity exploration and development" are acceptable, as is "any practice, treatment, or intervention that assists an individual seeking to undergo a gender transition or an individual who is in the process of undergoing a gender transition."

Beshear has tasked state agencies with taking reports of offending professionals to their respective certification or licensing boards for potential disciplinary action.

The governor appears keen to pressure those institutions beyond his reach to fall in line, encouraging all professional certification or licensing boards, departments, and autonomous agencies in the state not subject to his supervision to "explore and implement all options to prohibit the practice of conversion therapy on minors and the referral of minors for conversion therapy."

The order also makes it illegal to use state or federal funds "for the practice of conversion therapy on minors, referring a minor for conversion therapy, or extending health benefits coverage for conversion therapy with a minor."

Chris Hartman, director of the LGBT activist group Fairness Campaign, said in a statement, "Today Gov. Beshear sends a crystal-clear message to all of Kentucky’s LGBTQ kids and their families – you are perfect as you are," evidently missing the irony that the order bars professionals from helping kids accept the physical reality of who they are.

'This EO stands to chill and stigmatize Christian counseling in the midst of a mental health crisis in KY.'

Richard Nelson, executive director of the Commonwealth Policy Center, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the ban's failure to advance in the Kentucky legislature is evidence that it shouldn't be enacted unilaterally by Beshear.

"The legislative route has been tried, which is how we arrive at laws and public policy in the state, and they've not garnered legislative approval. There's a reason for that," said Nelson, adding that the ban might infringe upon First Amendment rights.

Conservative attorney Chris Wiest suggested to the Herald-Leader that it amounts to political theater.

"He can't just issue an executive order and prescribe law. This is really basic Con Law 101 stuff, and I think the governor knows it, frankly," said Wiest. "He's not stupid, but he gets the headlines and he excites the base."

Republican state Rep. Josh Calloway tweeted, "Why is [Andy Beshear] determined to keep vulnerable children confused? I will fight this with every fiber of my being."

"Leave the kids alone!" added Calloway.

"This EO, which similar forms have been determined to be unconstitutional, will have a chilling effect on Christian counseling, and possibly violate religious liberties...I expect this to be s[w]iftly challenged!" tweeted state Sen. Robby Mills (R).

"Parents have the right to raise their children in a manner that is based on biblical standards and to help their children receive faith based counseling. This EO stands to chill and stigmatize Christian counseling in the midst of a mental health crisis in KY," added Mills.

Matt Sharp, senior counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Washington Post, "The government has no business censoring private conversations between clients and counselors, nor should counselors be used as a tool to impose the government’s biased views on their clients."

‘Anti-Parent Ticket’: Moms For Liberty Plans To Emphasize Harris-Walz’ Socialism, ‘Gender Madness’ To Drive Vote

'Hold people's feet to the fire'

Colorado school district requires kids to suffer LGBT propaganda against parents' wishes



A Colorado school district recently updated its "LGBTQ+ tool kit," revealing what additional steps educators and staff are taking to indoctrinate those young Americans within its reach, particularly on the topics of sexuality and gender.

The document, which appears on various DPS school sites and was recently detailed in a Daily Caller report, indicates that students in Denver Public Schools will be unable to avoid LGBT propaganda; that their parents cannot effectively opt them out of content on-theme; and that parental consent will be sidestepped on various issues.

Denver Public Schools' tool kit details the district's various schemes and policies hatched with the stated purpose of supporting its non-straight and gender dysphoric students, staff, and families. The district has over 200 schools and 4,780 teachers, roughly 90,000 students, and 10,177 employees.

'There is no opt-out for LGBTQ+ topics.'

The tool kit notes that "age-appropriate LGBTQ+ topics are considered a part of DPS's commitment to equity and inclusion, just as all other topics related to equity and inclusion (for example, immigration, racism, ableism, etc.)."

State Democrats passed legislation in 2019 requiring the inclusion of content about the accomplishments of non-straight people in Colorado's Social Studies Standards and curriculum. The DPS' kit intimated, however, that the district need not stop at inserting LGBT content into history, civics, and social studies classes; that it could go further and push such propaganda "in all areas."

While parents can still opt their children out of sex-ed specific classes — which, per policy, refrain from discussing an abstinence-only approach to avoiding disease and pregnancy — the DPS indicated in its tool kit that such withdrawal would not spare students from "all discussions of gender, family, and/or sexual diversity at school."

"There is no opt-out for LGBTQ+ topics," stated the tool kit, which the Daily Caller reported was updated in July.

Although the district appears keen to tailor curricula and policy to a minority of non-straight community members, its tool kit noted, "DPS cannot tailor individual lessons, content, or classrooms because a family, student, or staff may have different values."

Having previously noted that LGBT propaganda falls under the umbrella of "equity and inclusion," the tool kit makes expressly clear; "Parent permission is not required to teach about topics of equity and inclusion."

DPS appears keen to sidestep parents in other ways as well.

In the case of children who are confused about their sexuality and "gender identity," the tool kit stresses: "Do not out the student to anyone."

"Do not share information about a student's transition without their express, documented consent," adds the tool kit.

Extra to helping students conceal their confusion, DPS will gladly use a "student's self-asserted name and/or pronouns at school" without parental/guardian notification or permission. The district will also allow students to change their name and pronouns in district record systems without either parental permission or legal documentation.

When confronted with a gender dysphoric student, the tool kit recommends partnering the student with a staff member "supportive of LGBTQ+ topics" to think through a "Gender Support Plan."

The kit suggests further how educators and school staff members are to usurp parental authority and adopt a familial role when it appears parents may not be onboard with promoting a child's confusion:

The educator or administrator should ask whether the student's family is accepting to avoid inadvertently putting the student at risk of more significant harm by discussing it with the student's family. Based on that information, the school and student should determine how to proceed through the collaborative process of figuring out how the school can support the student and balance the student's need to be affirmed at school with the reality that the student does not have that support at home.

The tool kit also details how transvestic students can choose to use the restrooms and locker rooms that best indulge their delusion and that they are allowed to go on overnight trips, alll the while having their real biological sexes kept a secret from other students and their parents.

The Daily Caller indicated that DPS could not be reached for comment.

Randi Weingarten is euphoric over Walz pick. Betsy DeVos figures that's a bad omen.



Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, has a knack not only for peddling falsehoods but for supporting ruinous policies, identitarian programming, and radical politicians.

Weingarten fought, for instance, to keep schools from reopening in-person learning in 2020, helping to put kids years behind academically and to drive up mental illness, suicide, obesity, and diminished immune systems among American children. She has suggested that parental resistance to leftist curricula "is the way in which wars start" and has likened parental rights advocates to segregationists. Weingarten has also campaigned against arming teachers despite the deterrent it might serve regarding school shootings.

Fully aware of Weingarten's history of radicalism, former Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos expressed concern this week upon seeing how excited the AFT boss was over Kamala Harris' choice of running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).

In a video posted by the AFT to social media Tuesday, Weingarten gleefully states, "My phone has been going crazy because we just heard Tim Walz is Kamala Harris' choice for vice president! We're so excited."

"He's a teacher. He's a union member. We have known him for years as a social studies teacher, as a vet, as a union member, as a congressman, as a governor," continued Weingarten. "It is such a great day for America that we're going to have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on a ticket for the future, for freedom, for opportunity, for America, for Americans' families. I'm sorry, I'm just so, so excited."

Weingarten also tweeted, "As Governor his record has been exemplary including record funding for public education, protecting reproductive rights, expanding collective bargaining, access to affordable childcare & paid family and medical leave. @KamalaHarris made a great choice!"

DeVos responded, "Anyone who makes Randi this excited is a 5-alarm fire for parents and students."

Weingarten's excitement appears to be fed by an understanding that Walz is a kindred spirit.

Besides also having an apparently loose relationship with the truth, Walz has advanced various leftist policies and initiatives affecting schools and children.

Harris' running mate earned himself the nickname "Tampon Tim" for ratifying legislation last year requiring public schools to provide tampons and pads "to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12."

Although state Republicans, cognizant of the fact that only girls and women menstruate, sought to limit the offerings to girls' bathrooms, Walz and his Democratic comrades ultimately got their way such that tampons are now available in the boys' bathrooms as well.

'The future starts here — and we are not going back.'

Walz passed a law in May prohibiting K-12 schools, colleges, and public libraries from complying with book-removal requests, thereby ensuring LGBT propaganda and other content thought inappropriate by parents could remain accessible by students.

Although there was apparently no scientific evidence to support masking children, Walz nevertheless required that kids as young as 5 keep their faces masked at school and on buses — at least in those months where he was permitting them and their families to leave their homes.

In terms of older students, Walz has also ensured that illegal aliens will be able to take advantage of his state's tuition-free college program.

Weingarten indicated in a statement that her apparently ideologically uniform union will easily transition from support for President Joe Biden to support for Harris and will campaign to keep Trump out of the White House.

"AFT's 1.8 million members will stand with Walz and Harris over the next 12 weeks as they campaign to realize the promise and potential of America," said Weingarten. "The future starts here — and we are not going back."

The National Education Association — America's other major radical teachers' union that supports abortion; amnesty for illegal aliens; gun bans; race-based admissions and hiring; LGBTQ activist-dictated pronoun use; statehood for the District of Columbia; making race the crux of all educational considerations; and BLM — has also endorsed Walz.

NEA president Becky Pringle stated, "The 3-million members of the NEA will show their power by turning out, volunteering and making their voices heard because we know that electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is the only way we can take America forward."
