This is our why
For nearly 250 years, democracy has been the lifeblood of this nationânot handed down by kings or bought by billionaires, but built and sustained by everyday people. It lives in our families and neighborhoods, in classrooms and clinics, on job sites and in voting lines. Itâs the teacher guiding the next generation, the nurse caring for their community, the worker keeping society moving, and the voter who refuses to be silenced.
Power has always belonged to the people. Thatâs why protecting democracy is not optionalâitâs our shared responsibility. When we defend it, we defend one another, our freedoms, and the future we are shaping for generations yet to come.
