Renew Democracy 250

@renew250.bsky.social

Not MAGA. Not extreme partisan politics.

If you feel politically homeless, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans want common sense, liberty, and fairness, not chaos funded by billionaires.

Take the pledge. Tell Congress: Enough is enough. renewdemocracy250.com

Another tragic school shooting. Binary choices keep us divided and nothing changes. Real progress starts when we listen and understand why others believe as they do.
