We The People wish to live in a just society. 

We did not vote for a dictator. We did not vote to have our agencies gutted and our long-standing, trusted branches of government dismantled. We did not vote for a billionaire take-over, nor did we vote to alienate ourselves from world Allies. We did not vote for the pending poverty, misery, and destruction that this administration has unleashed by cutting social safety nets and economic programs that help seniors, veterans, children, and marginalized people. We did not vote for white supremacy. We did not vote for an oligarchy. We did not vote for hatred or unfair deportations of innocent people. We did not vote to rip away government employees with no regard to lifetimes of service. We did not vote to strip away human rights. We did not vote to destroy public lands. We did not vote to destroy the rule of law, and we did NOT vote to destroy the constitution of the United States. We did not vote to destroy democracy. We did not vote for a nation divided by hatred and misinformation. 

Even Donald Trump’s loyal supporters are beginning to regret their votes. Why? Because they were lied to. They were tricked. They were fed misinformation and they were fueled by hatred and division. Many of them did not vote for this.

This is not who we are. 

The United States of America has a dark history, but over the last 250 years, we have made progress together. We have worked to expand human rights, and we have worked to create a system of justice and a form of representative government. 

We The People reject the current administration. This band of unqualified, unscrupulous, power-hungry ego-maniacs, is not what we voted for. 

We demand the constitution be honored. We demand that our systems of justice and government stand. 

We demand that the oligarchy take their hands off our rights, our tax dollars, our public lands. We demand the architects of Project 2025 take their hands off our bodies, our schools, our books, our courts, our cancer research, our jobs, our weather detection systems, and all social safety nets. We demand that the ELECTED officials in congress protect our long-fought-for freedoms. 

We The People wish to live in a land of compassion, and in a land of opportunity. We wish to live in a land in which our differences and diversity are our strengths. We wish to live in a land in which love, empathy, justice, and integrity are considered honorable. We wish to live in a land that values education, research, and ethical practices. We wish to inhabit a healthy planet. We wish to elevate each other. We wish to care about each other. We wish to live in a country that believes all people are created equal and we wish to live in a land in which we are all able to seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 

We will settle for nothing less. 

Stay in this fight. Let your voices be heard. Choose courage over comfort. Continue to be creative, compassionate, and dedicated to the fight of our lives. We The People hold the power. We The People will win if we do not give up. We The People will win.

Ask not what your privilege can do for you; ask what you can do with your privilege.
