31. We need all 24 Democratic State Governors to stand together in opposition.
Tue Feb 3, 2026, 10:10 PM
2 hrs ago

A joint appearance and statement listing the usurpations and violations and their steadfast resolution to stand together in opposition with a review of actions they have taken in their individual states and an announcement of agreements among the states to protect their people .. with more to come. Make it clear that the free states of this nation have the courage to do what they must to stay free.

In this crisis, the DGA needs to do a hell of a lot more than work to elect Democratic Governors. It needs to take the lead in the sort of coordinated, effective, unprecedented, response that this unprecedented crisis demands.

https://democraticgovernors.org/governors/

Beshear is the Chair. Write, Call, Schedule meetings to ask what they plan to do as a group -- and if nothing, lobby for coordinated action.

The Attorneys General have taken some coordinated action. It's time for the Governors to get visible as a force standing in solidarity.
