It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

For one day. Maybe.

Feel free to share your feelgood stories too, we need them.

You have to wonder exactly how much money the Catholic Church has paid to lawyers over years to silence child abuse victims & avoid compensation. Certainly lawyers got more out of its Melbourne Response than victims did. I do not know how people who profit from this look their own kids in the eye.
