We can do this \u2014 and show our children the power of community<\/h2>\n
\"Closeup<\/figure>\n

If you have been living in the United States since 2025, you probably find it hard to keep track of the sheer number of illegal and corrupt attacks against our rights, freedoms, safety, financial stability, dignity, and the democratic rule of law. <\/p>\n

Like many Americans, you might also be scrambling hard to get by \u2013 to afford housing, food, and utilities; to keep your job or find work after losing your job; to find ways to get your family health care or child care. Some are struggling so much with these needs they have little or no time left for anything else.<\/p>\n

So, yes. It\u2019s hard to keep track of it all. And the immensity of the transgressions can feel overwhelming. <\/p>\n

The masked, secret \u201cpolice\u201d, with privately-run detention centers and insufficient oversight inspections<\/a>. Reckless tariffs and cuts to health care programs. A catastrophic, unconstitutional war that has included a horrific, two-strike bombing of children at an elementary school. Corruption, cover-ups, and obstruction of investigations into child trafficking. Attacks on science and evidence-based health research. Attempts to pass a bill in Congress<\/a> that would make it very difficult for millions of legitimate voters to register or update registration so they can vote (including many women who changed their legal names after marrying).<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s okay if you can\u2019t remember all of this. It doesn\u2019t matter if no single person can track all of the assaults and threats.<\/h2>\n

This crisis isn\u2019t one that gets solved by an individual. It can only get solved by all of us working together.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One major step is to keep coming together, millions of us, to speak out for our common values \u2013 the values that will give our children a chance. That will make us feel less divided, less stressed, less isolated. And it allows us to learn from each other, and find ways to put pressure on those in power.<\/p>\n

We have the capacity, and \u2013 collectively \u2013 we<\/em> have the power, skills, knowledge, empathy, and practical know-how to make government work for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So \u2013 if you can \u2013 show up physically for local, non-violent demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Encourage and help your friends and neighbors do the same.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s use these public events to find solidarity, and learn what everyday actions we can take to make change happen:<\/p>\n
