CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside
What Happened:
On November 9, Chuck Schumer surrendered in the fight for affordable healthcare, supplying Republicans the votes necessary to advance a budget that will cause premiums to double and triple for millions of Americans.
This was not a capitulation by the entire Democratic Caucus. But the betrayal extends beyond the eight Democrats who voted yes. The fact that the group was comprised entirely of Senators who are retiring or who won’t face primaries for several years points to these Dems giving cover to a larger faction eager to throw in the towel.
And despite his “no” vote, the entire political world knows this is a direct result of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. He either blessed this surrender, or was incapable of leading his caucus to hold the line.
Schumer’s second massive capitulation to the Trump regime has shown Trump that he can continue to plow forward with his authoritarian agenda without meaningful opposition from Congress. It’s shown him that inflicting pain on Americans helps him achieve his agenda.
And it’s shown Americans intent on resisting Trumpism that we desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.
Fill out this form right now, and we’ll connect you to your Democratic Senator. Tell them that they need to call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader and allow someone else to lead the opposition to Trump. Let them know that they have to take drastic action to save our democracy and demand a change in leadership.

Here’s your script:
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask [Senator] to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader, to allow someone new to lead.
Sen. Schumer has once again caved and allowed a budget that will harm millions of Americans to sail through the Senate. Voters showed up in historic numbers this November to show they wanted leaders willing to hold the line against Trumpism. They want fighters.
Schumer has shown he’s not up for the fight. If Senator [name] is, they must call on Schumer to step down.
Thank you!
