What do we want? We want everything. We want a government “of, but and for the people.” We want a government that serves the well-being of its people before the short-term profits of huge multinational corporations. We want liberty and justice for all. We want our democracy back.

We were never a perfect democracy, but there was a time when there was a social agreement that we should at least try. And that’s a very big thing. Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.

Woa. Read a book. Do you think American history just started with us? That these same struggles have not been happening for over 200 years? That no one ever sacrificed for the effort to try to get it right?

It is time for a generation to rise up to an amoral economic system that puts short term profits before the health and well being of the American people.

And I want us to care about the world again, not just ourselves. Justice for all children and people... To be actial justice people, we have to care about the ways we exploit and hurt others across the seas ... not just here.
