Power to the People
Fascism thrives in the shadows of apathy, creeping into societies not with dramatic proclamations or tanks in the streets, but through quiet indifference. It begins when good people choose inaction—failing to challenge injustice, ignoring the erosion of rights, and dismissing threats as “it can’t happen here.” Each moment of apathy creates fertile ground for authoritarianism, allowing it to take root and grow.
Building people power is essential because it places the strength of our communities in the hands of everyday individuals rather than distant institutions or wealthy elites. When we unite, organize, and take action together, we amplify our voices and create a force capable of driving real change.
People power fosters accountability, ensures that leaders represent the true will of the majority, and pushes for policies that prioritize fairness, justice, and opportunity for all. By reclaiming our collective power, we can challenge inequality, resist oppression, and build a future where everyone—regardless of race, gender, or income—has the chance to thrive.
In this community, we will always speak out against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, elitism, transphobia, misogynoir, and bigotry!
When we come together in unity, we can face challenges and build a society that reflects our shared values of liberty, justice, and dignity for all.
