Join Camp Democracy Sept. 5th – 21st in
DC
Name the only “free” country on
earth in which a
tiny extreme faction steals elections, attacks basic rights, spies on citizens,
and starts wars based on lies, but the people don’t take to the streets in their
Capital to protest? If you said the
USA, you’d be wrong.
On 9/5 We The People will say
“Enough is Enough” at Camp
Democracy in Washington. Americans are
doing what Ukrainians, Mexicans, and any other people not stunned into apathetic
silence would do in the face of tyranny: take back our national capitol with
activists, leaders, and artists demanding peace, justice, and accountability. Help Change the Course at Camp Democracy, a non-partisan camp for peace,
democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law. Camp Casey
will move from Crawford, Texas, to Washington, D.C., joining a larger camp focused on ending
the war, righting injustices at home, and holding the Administration and
Congress accountable 9/5 – 8, 9/12 – 21:
