Jimmy Carter: “I see this as a very great need.”

I fear for our democracy.

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.

There's only one chance and one life to count for something. And my faith tells me, or my faith demands, that I use whatever I have whenever I can, to make a difference in people's lives.

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.
