The work of protecting democracy isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon.
Staying informed, engaged, and effective means taking care of ourselves, too.

Democracy isn’t a resolution you make once a year. It’s something you practice—by staying informed, caring for each other, and showing up even when it’s hard.
Here’s to beginning the year committed to that work. 🥂
