Friends, LEADERSHIP is ALL of us working together by doing what we as ONE, as a FEW, and as MANY, can do.
We, the people, as one, as a few, and as many, have the power. We ARE the power; ONE of us and ALL of us!

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

It is our civic and moral duty to support our military and protect them from abuse, exploitation and lack of care by our government — just as it is our civic duty and moral obligation to hold them accountable for doing their duty and for their collective and personal conduct…AND WITH GRATITUDE!
Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.
What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

☎️ Call your governor, state reps & local police depts & remind them YOU pay their salaries to protect YOU & your community—NOT to assist ICE in committing illegal actions & constitutional violations. Tell them you are gravely concerned & that you will hold them accountable for failing in their duty.

Public Source asked local officials about signed partnership agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Two municipalities later canceled the agreements.
