Democracy Fund’s Post

Actions to help strengthen democracy with the Americans of Conscience Checklist.

In these challenging times, it’s crucial to remember the importance of supporting our federal government. Consider the ongoing efforts to address pressing issues like public health and national security. The CDC’s work during the pandemic and the Department of Homeland Security’s initiatives to protect our communities highlight the vital role our government plays in safeguarding our well-being. When we face civil upheaval, it’s easy to focus on the divisions. However, let’s not forget that our government, with all its complexities, strives to serve us. Engaging in constructive dialogue and supporting the institutions that uphold our rights are essential to moving forward together. By doing so, we reinforce the foundations of our democracy and ensure that it remains resilient in the face of adversity. Let us stand united in support of our federal government, for it is through our collective commitment that we can navigate these turbulent waters and emerge stronger.
