Let’s start with the bottom line: We are going to win.
That was far from clear in January. An autocrat had just been re-elected with what he viewed as a mandate to dismantle American democracy. His shock-and-awe-filled first few months were maximally destructive and sowed fear — intentionally — across the land.
Building a stronger, more resilient democracy is possible, but we can’t do it alone. Become part of the fight today.
