I fear for our democracy.

Our great nation now teeters on the brink of a widening abyss. Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

All of us must learn to waste less energy.

We look on human rights as an ability to live in peace. And to believe that your future will be better than your past might be.
