We are the saviors we’ve been waiting for.
There’s no knight in shining armor who is going to stroll up and protect us. We, the citizens, the people, are the overseers of our democracy, and we need to stand up to protect and strengthen our democracy, for us, our children, and our children’s children.
Our democracy is far from perfect, and yet it has provided us with so much, and we’ll dearly miss what we have if we let it slip away. And the beautiful thing is that we have far more power and opportunity than most of us think we have. We can do this.
