PROTECTING DEMOCRACY

This committee has the opinion that the MAGA regime is not just trying to implement conservative policy (with which we may disagree) but is threatening our way of governance, including by attempting to remove checks and balances and fundamental freedoms we have fought to preserve and expand over generations. We are dedicated to tracking and opposing candidates, nominations, executive orders, and legislation at the state and federal level that would move us toward an oligarchical or authoritarian government and to supporting institutions, leaders, actions, and legislation that will strengthen and improve a fair democracy. We are concerned here and abroad with:

• Freedom of the Press
• Freedom of Speech
• Freedom of Religion (and from Religion)
• Freedom of Assembly
• Rule of Law
• Equal Rights

PROTECTING CIVIL & EQUAL RIGHTS 

We understand that targeting and scapegoating certain sectors of the population is a strategy to divide and weaken us. No race or gender is superior and everyone in this free country should be able to live without fear of exploitation, discrimination, and violence. All are deserving of equal rights and equal opportunities. We are tracking and opposing efforts to roll back Diversity Equity Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) policies, personnel, and legislation. We aim to support institutions, leaders, actions, and legislation that work to unite us by protecting all of us.
