WASHINGTON D.C. - October 28, 2024 - Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden was a chilling display of Donald Trump's racist and fascist agenda, eerily reminiscent of the infamous 1939 America First rally held by Nazi sympathizers at the same venue. This historical echo serves as a terrifying reminder of the pervasive hate and division threatening our country today. The Seneca Project unequivocally condemns Trump's vision for America-a regressive agenda hellbent on dismantling the hard-won rights for women, minorities, and marginalized communities, while seeking to subvert the very Constitution that safeguards our freedoms.
We are unwavering in our commitment to oppose this campaign of hate and call upon all Americans to rise in defiance. Now is the time to stand up against extremism and make our voices heard.
"If you've ever asked yourself what you would have done or which side you'd have been on in the 1930s-this is your chance to do what's right," said Seneca Project co-founder and CCO, Michelle Kinney. "History is watching, and we advocate for a future grounded in hope, equality, and progress for all."
Maria Cardona, Seneca Project Senior Advisor, said: "Donald Trump made it very clear last night what his closing argument for Americans is in this election: hatred, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. His campaign also made a huge strategic mistake- they insulted Puerto Rico and an important swath of voters, as hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans reside in the battleground states. Well, Donald Trump and his campaign may have thought that that was funny, but they will not be laughing on election day. The Madison Square Garden rally crystallized the stark choice in this election for voters."
Tara Setmayer, Co-Founder and CEO of The Seneca Project, said, "No matter how bad we expected it to be, tonight's rally was worse than we could have imagined. It was a vulgar, hateful spectacle that demonstrated not only Donald Trump's commitment to extremism but also the sheer volume of enablers who stand ready to join him in the White House. This was a chilling reminder of what is at stake in 2024. Our commitment to preserving democracy and protecting women's rights has never been more critical."
The Seneca Project is a bipartisan superPAC, led by women, dedicated to mobilizing women voters in key swing states in support of Kamala Harris' election. With a focus on safeguarding women's rights, healthcare access, and the preservation of democracy, we are galvanizing this crucial demographic to vote for Vice President Harris and defeat the extremist MAGA agenda.
