Democracy and the Human Spirit

For almost 250 years, democracy has offered a sense of human possibility-- to Americans and to the world

Human beings don't do well when this sense of possibility is taken from them. We are aspirational beings, built to pursue something better.

Our democracy has granted us the freedom to struggle and move and fight.

It has been our distant, glimmering shore, and it has been essential to the human spirit.

What we are seeing now is an attack on the best, most hopeful and humane part of our American story.

We Are Better Than This.

-- Citizen H/ Democracy 12

How do you see it?

What does democracy mean to you?

And, if you allow yourself to imagine it, who would we be without it?

Citizen H wants to know.
