Senator Raphael Warnock Reflects on Democracy Ahead of Bloody Sunday Anniversary

As Senator Raphael Warnock prepares to walk across Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, he warns that democracy is once again under threat. A pastor-turned-senator, Warnock sees his political work as an extension of his ministry, fighting for voting rights, healthcare, and economic justice. However, he acknowledges the growing influence of corporations and billionaires, making it harder for working families to get ahead.

Following Donald Trump’s recent congressional address, Warnock criticizes his economic policies, warning they will increase costs, cut healthcare, and benefit the wealthy at the expense of everyday Americans. Despite efforts to counteract these policies, Democrats are struggling to break through the noise in an era dominated by outrage and misinformation.

Calling democracy an “unfinished symphony,” Warnock emphasizes the need for action, strategy, and persistence to protect fundamental rights. As he steps onto the historic bridge, he reflects on John Lewis’ legacy and the ongoing battle for justice, urging Americans to stand up, organize, and fight for their future.
