This is a democracy, folks. There are no kings that rule the United States of America. And we need to keep it that way.
Have you heard of the No Kings Act?
If this law were to pass, here are three reasons why this bill would be an important guardrail for our democracy:
1) Trump would be held accountable for his many crimes – including the 34 felony convictions on his record.
2) The Supreme Court, controlled by a 6-3 conservative majority, would stop any corruption that they’ve been a part of!
3) Trump would not be in office EVER AGAIN.
President Biden, Senator Schumer, and Senate Democrats are working around the clock to pass this law before Trump is inaugurated.
But we need EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT who reads this to endorse this bill before midnight >>
We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.
We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.
And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.
When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.
Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.
So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.
