Why it Matters
Why it Matters
Today, we are experiencing the largest rollback of civil rights, voting rights, and human rights the US has ever faced.
Our neighbors are being spirited away by masked men, thrown into gulags, and denied due process.
Congress shredded our social safety net and plunged us into crippling debt to give handouts to billionaires, who then try to buy elections for pliable politicians.
New laws make it harder for citizens to vote.
If defending democracy matters to you, join us on Saturday, August 2, to help us fight fascism!
⏰ 10a-12p @ Nampa City Hall
Bring a sign to wave and school supplies to donate.
What is Fascism & how does it work?
Systematically dismantles democratic institutions (education, media, courts, elections...).
Strongly emphasizes (ethno-)nationalism & rigid social hierarchy.
Centralizes power around a charismatic authoritarian.

The Broligarcy seeks to divide us so that we don't notice the hands in our pockets or boots on our necks.
DOGE gutted critical governmental functions, including life-saving research and aid and the staff to maintain and manage our public lands and national parks, but monied interests have secured lucrative, no-bid government contracts.
Because of the Big B___ Bill, Medicaid is now MIA, rural hospitals are closing, and the largest transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest Americans is now underway.

We are more alike than we are different, & EVERY member of our community matters! Don't let their rhetoric divide us.
Nationalism seeks to deny and diminish the value of our multi-ethnic melting pot.
For nearly two centuries, the US national motto was "E pluribus unum" (out of many one). This is because most of us can trace our origins to other lands (in Europe, in Africa, in Asia...), but Nationalism has rearranged the letters on the barn.
US citizens, legal residents, & people mid-asylum process, are being disappeared, largely based on "their physical appearance and their actions" (Tom Homan, US "Border Czar"). Anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-minority rhetoric have pervaded our popular discourse.

The Constitution ensures EVERYONE accused of violations an opportunity to make their case, so that people are not punished for mistaken identity or false accusations.
Autocracy seeks power without accountability, making a mockery of the constitution.
Of our THREE co-equal branches of government, Branch 1 (Legislative) has ceded its power, and Branch 2 (Executive) is running roughshod over Branch 3 (Judicial).
Media is being censored and citizens threatened with denaturalization for voicing opinions critical of the current regime, and new voter ID laws make it hard for women (and others) to vote.
DEFEATED BY:
Every citizen has a say in their government. Your vote matters, so make it count! This fall, vote in your local elections, and next fall vote like democracy depends on it because it does.
