Our Voices
As a people, we cherish our constitutional rights, especially our First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Today we have reached a tipping point where our core values are being endangered and trampled upon. We rise above the assault on our values with our voices.
History will look back on the 2016 to 2020 period as a critical time. Under the leadership of 45, the government encourages white supremacy, repurposes critical personal protective equipment needed by our health care workers in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, puts children and families in cages at the border, overlooks legitimate asylum claims, rolls back environmental regulations, ignores climate change, attempts to limit voting and places profit over public health.
We demonstrate to express our voices to reinforce basic American values that seek truth, compassion, public health, empathy, freedom, due process and equal opportunity. When my grandchildren ask me about this crucial period, I will say that I was part of the change. I demonstrated, documented our fury, called upon our representatives to make change and voted to ensure that I made a difference.
