• Just as the allied nations of World Wars past continue to battle in the struggle against tyranny, we as individuals need to be allies of the common good.
• Equal liberty and justice under the law can only be established if the plurality of Americans that have an equal footing to gain band together in solidarity. Especially those who are least wealthy among us, which represent 98% regardless of ethnic or religious identity.
• What does this look like?
  • For the LGBTQ+, it looks like a straight military veteran who jumps into action to take down an armed mass shooter in one of their nightclubs.
  • For the curious young mind, it looks like a brave teacher or librarian who risks their livelihood to provide a banned book or discuss cogent subject matters.
  • For the black person being refused service, it looks like the other employees behind the counter who shut down their confused coworkers and poor business acumen.
  • For anyone who is being ridiculed because of their color, shape, size or other aspects of who they are, it looks like the anti-bully who puts an attacker in their place.
  • For immigrants, it is the person who reminds us that this country was built by and is fed from the labor of slaves and immigrants.
  • For the religious or nones, it looks like mutual respect for a live-and-let-live way of life: The essence of liberty.
• Calls to Action:
  • We need to stand up for our human dignity during our battle for liberty and justice by standing up for each other everywhere, in every way that we can.
  • We need to recognize the real string of bullies that have been ascending various thrones from business to politics and stop promoting their messages.
  • We need to meet each moment prepared to speak truth to power in the halls where we walk and call out divisive commentary and thinking as we encounter it from others.
  • We need to show care to one another, especially when it is unexpected.
