We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it.

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.

Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

If we stay quiet, injustice wins and we remain invisibilized, marginalized, ignored. A national citizens’ assembly is our chance to demand more — and refresh a Constitution that includes all of us. Power won’t concede. We take it back. Follow us to learn more.

Even Tucker Carlson gets it: we’re screwed if we don’t change the rules. Young people can’t afford homes, the rich keep hoarding, 30% credit card rates are a scam. Should the Constitution guarantee housing? Block predatory debt? Say it loud — what would YOU add? #RefreshTheConstitution

For 250 yrs, the Constitution decided who counts—and who doesn’t.
We’re done being left out. A Citizens’ Assembly is rewriting the rules for all of us.
It’s time we’re written in. Power back to the people.

Yesterday, portions of the U.S. Constitution disappeared from the Library of Congress site- incl. Sections from Article 1 that implement the powers of Congress, provide checks against the President, Congressional oversight of DC & govern the military. This cannot stand. Join us: www.unify-usa.org

Axios @axios.com · Aug 6

The missing sections from the Constitution's website included foundational provisions, such as the right to habeas corpus, which protects people from unlawful detention.

We’re 6 months into felon’s disastrous 2nd term!

Loss of food assistance benefits, loss of services, loss of funding for education etc. means LESS for you, & more for billionaires!

Food prices are at record highs!

Deep cuts to Medicaid mean people pay more for healthcare & hospitals will close!
