📢 Freedom over Fascism
Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding leaders accountable to the will of the people. -LG
Great news! People Power is Growing!
The news and threats to our rights and freedoms can be overwhelming. I get it. This morning, another message came in: "I am not sending a message to my Congressman; he doesn't care, it doesn't matter."
That is precisely what the other side wants. They want us to give up. They have no interest in representing us. They want to rule over us.
I know that the hundreds of times I called, emailed, or visited Senator Rubio's office to push for my family or community, he probably wouldn't listen or move on his radical positions. However, my job as a mom and a community member is to keep fighting for my family and community. And guess what? That persistence worked. I finally started getting meetings with staffers. Little by little. Inch by Inch. Regardless of Rubio or these wayward leaders' roles in our American story, I and others are working to replace them. Who represents us depends on us and our work in electing leaders who listen to the people and our efforts to hold them accountable.
People Power is growing because we have more in common than our differences. We see the humanity in one another. We understand that none of us are safe until all are safe. We know everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and have an opportunity to thrive.
With Memorial Day just around the corner, I want to take a moment of privilege and express my heartfelt gratitude to American armed services personnel, veterans, and their families. Your sacrifices have made our nation stronger. My promise to you is we will not forget. We will not stop. We will fight for you as you have fought for us.
I created this Freedom over Fascism pledge to honor those who have sacrificed for our freedoms and remind us that we each have a part in this story. If this pledge resonates with you, please consider signing on.
I refuse to be silent.
I refuse to live in a nation that abandons kindness and respect for hatred and contempt.
I refuse to ignore the harm that is happening in my community.
I refuse to be complicit in helping a nation move from striving toward freedoms and rights for all to a country of the haves and the have-nots.
I refuse to believe this is someone else's problem. I refuse to put blame solely on the President, Congress, elected leaders, or any government office.
I agree that we must hold our leaders accountable to the people and if they do not listen to; then, I will join others to do the work to replace them.
I will hold all leaders responsible for the will of the people.
I refuse to live in a nation that abandons the rule of law for tyranny.
I refuse to make excuses.
I refuse to live in a nation that abandons facts for propaganda.
I refuse to look the other way.
I refuse to believe I cannot cause change.
I agree that we must come together and champion laws that protect all community members. The days of only advocating for "my issue" are gone. I understand we may not agree on all issues, but there are many issues we can agree on. Our communities are stronger when we are united and advocate for one another.
I will always speak out against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, elitism, transphobia, misogynoir, and bigotry!
Shout out to all of you!
I want to shout out to everyone who sends me a message about grammar issues, spelling errors, or an error. I am grateful for you having my back. Someone said, "You need to let your staff know," but we have no staff as a people power group. No budget for fancy copywriters. It's just me- a mom and community member, in between life, trying to get the word out to you amazing People Power United members. Again, I am grateful for helping make People Power United better!
