Moments ago we got the news: Donald Trump's military parade has been canceled.
We'll learn more in the coming days about what the final straw was, but we know this: our pressure worked. We pushed tens of thousands of petitions, calls and letters to Congress from veterans and military families urging them to stop this international embarrassment.
And they felt your pressure. We stopped it! We did it! What a collective effort!
But here is the catch: the Pentagon is saying that this parade is only "postponed," and our pledge to you is that we will not let up. We will only amp up the pressure. Because they felt it. We will continue to oppose this parade if and when it arises again. But we can't do that alone.
This is a great victory for us. All of us. Thank you to every person who donated, who called, who wrote, who shared something on social media. But we won't stop now.
All my best,
