Democracy Must Be Protected

Democracy is not doomed. We can fight for it. But the first step is to acknowledge we HAVE to fight for it. To recognize the reality of what CAN happen, and accept what WILL happen, if we don’t all work together to fix what’s broken. Democracy is under attack and it’s under attack, not from outside forces, but from one of the two major parties right here in the US. This is an unprecedented crisis that must be met with unified resistance. We are at the tipping point. We must make sure enough of us tip the direction in democracy’s favor.
