A broad coalition in Washtenaw County has directly addressed the policy and advocacy pillars that sustain and fortify democracy by creating
The American People’s Compact,
a practical, multi-point policy platform to unite Americans around shared values and evidence-based solutions. It was rigorously researched and nationally tested, with nearly 8 in 10 Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike, supporting it.
The organizers are now working to bring it to the attention of the American people, candidates, and elected representatives as common ground for ALL Americans.
Your group can sign-on to this compact along with SWIM! Share with your network!
KEEP CONTACTING YOUR ELECTEDS!
Keep making your voice heard! We need our electeds to STAND UP and FIGHT against this authoritarian coup. Keep up the pressure!
And yes, thank them when they do something good and right like standing strong against a GOP budget (we all need encouragement).
We need to keep contact up via phone calls, emails, and office visits wherever we can. It makes a different in having a seat at the table!
