Dream for America @dreamforamerica.bsky.social · May 22

The Right has spent $1.6 BILLION to indoctrinate young people into fascism — and it’s working.

Gen-Z now favors the Right by 12 POINTS.

But we’re fighting back.

Help us remind young people why democracy is still worth defending.

"Jesus was a progressive — a radical, a disruptor, a voice for the marginalized; a revolutionary who
advocated for justice, compassion, and collective care."

POPE LEO: “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life.

Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”
