Upper Valley Voices for Democracy
In Heather Cox Richardson's 7-29-2024 letter, she recounts the moments in US history when Americans have experienced revolutionary moments. She ended with this: "When President Joe Biden announced just a week ago that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president, he did not pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. He passed it to us." She continued, "It is up to us to decide whether we want a country based on fear or on facts, on reaction or on reality, on hatred or on hope. It is up to us whether it will be fascism or democracy that, in the end, moves swiftly, and up to us whether we will choose to follow in the footsteps of those Americans who came before us in our noblest moments, and launch a brand new era in American history." The choice in November is a referendum on the two and a half century history of this country. Will we continue the too-glacial pace of making this a more “Perfect union,” or will we throw it away in favor of an autocracy that will carry out an extremist far-right agenda? Project 2025 is the comprehensive transition plan to deal a death blow to democracy. It includes policies ready to be enacted on Day One, recommendations for top positions in government, and a database of loyalists prepared to fill positions previously held by civil servants. During the first Trump administration, the former president was frustrated by patriots at all levels of government from generals to bureaucrats who would not do his bidding because it violated sacred, often constitutional, norms. These obstacles will no longer exist. Furthermore, the Supreme Court in Trump v. United States granted immunity for anything Trump does if he regains office. Let's make sure that Project 2025 never happens!

The Northwest Resistance, Litchfield County, Connecticut
We are in Northwest Connecticut looking for like-minded people who want to band together to stand up against authoritarianism and extremism on all levels of government and protect democracy.; who want to protect our National Parks and Forests from the corporations and millionaires who wish to strip them of their natural resources and beauty; and individuals who want to help combat climate change. We want to help keep this nation free, protect women's rights and bodies; protect the LGBTQ+ community and all hard-working immigrants who help feed us. This country was not built on hate and fear: fear keeps us focused on the past and worried about the future. America was built on courage, hard work, standing up for what's right and an unwavering determination to create change for the greater good of all. I know it seems daunting; that's why we need you. Join the Northwest Resistance! NEW HERE? Please take our survey to help us better organize. https://forms.gle/n8m6BNJmziv43vCX9 FIND US ON BLUESKY: @nwresistance FIND US ON FB: The Northwest Resistance
