This Democracy Needs You!

"Power is the strength required to bring about social, political, and economic change... Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."  -- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The crisis confronting America is, essentially, that of community versus corporation. One would have us cooperate into our shared possibilities. The other would have us surrender our spirit and life unto their corporate profit ledger. Since corporations are now considered persons, our real personhood in our humanity is at risk of being "privatized" by the corporate rulers that be. This is no small thing -- everything is now on the line. Awareness of the risk of this moment is essential in order to mobilize a movement of resistance.

True power liberates into justice. True power lifts up the downtrodden and weak. True power creates paths of transformation for both persons and communities. True power tends all of us towards equality and our full development. We need to organize: this American experiment is not for the taking by monopolistic corporations! We need to say it loud and we need to say it clear: democracy now!

Democracy Now!
