Many Democrats are asking, 'Where do we go from here?' As the new administration's policies cast a long, red shadow over our government, it's a feeling many of us share. Yet, tonight's total lunar eclipse* offers a powerful metaphor.

The moon, a beacon of light, will be cloaked in the Earth's shadow, turning a deep red. In centuries past, this “Blood Moon” might have been a source of dread, an omen of chaos. But nowadays with the laws of science and the power of empathy, we can assure each other that this temporary phase will not last.

There is an inherent cycle of change in moments like this: just as the eclipse will wane, so too will this political darkness. Let's transform our fear into purposeful action: educate ourselves, support principled leadership, and advocate for those most vulnerable. Just as the moon's light will be restored tonight, so too can our hope and resolve for a better tomorrow.

Wondering where to start? Take a look at these upcoming events.

* The lunar eclipse totality will begin late Thursday, March 13, at 11:26pm PDT and end a little over an hour later on early Friday morning at 12:31am PDT.

Thank you for a wonderful PDC Annual Meeting!
