Because We Are Americans
Are You Asking "What Can I Do?"
by Carmen Berry and Carolyn Rafferty
Does being an American mean that you believe in democracy?
Not anymore. Our country is spiraling into authoritarianism, and some Americans are cheering.
Because We Are Americans is more than just a book-- it's the start of a mass
movement by the majority of Americans who still believe in democracy. You're
invited, regardless of political affiliation, to unite & defend the country we love. We don’t have to agree on everything to join our voices in defense of democracy.
You will get:
-
A message of unity across differences—reminding us that diversity is America's greatest strength.
-
Stories of resilience and audacity—from the Founders to modern movements for justice and inclusion.
-
A call to action for every American—to raise your voice, join a broad coalition, and make a difference through creative, nonviolent activism.
Because We Are Americans
-
We stand behind the Constitution!
-
We unite for democracy!
-
We say “No kings!”
By uniting under the slogan Because We Are Americans as a rallying point, we can unite millions of Americans using the power of social media. The largest and most powerful demonstration for democracy can disrupt the current administration's hold on the news cycle. Our message of a just and inclusive democracy will finally be heard!
A compelling read and clear, step-by-step direction for pro-democracy Americans. If the barrage of chaos has caused you to doubt yourself and our country, then remember this: America always rises to the challenge.
Because we are Americans, we will rise together.
