      We should be demanding new leadership!

      Chris Van Hollen is calling his colleagues: https://www.ms.now/news/van-hollen-schumer-senate-majority-leader-democrats

      Let’s get the new leadership we so desperately need!

      7 calls to help replace Schumer and Jeffries:

      1. Call Ayanna Pressley and encourage her to run for speaker of the house. She would be a great leader in addition to being the first black speaker of the house - which eliminates Hakeem Jeffries false claim only racists oppose him.
