Libertees & Justees For All

Is the bedrock of a truly free society. It's the assurance that no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe, your fundamental rights are protected. But in just the last few months, this bedrock has been severely shaken.

Has wasted no time in chipping away at the very principles that define our nation:

• Attacks on Free Expression and Dissent: There have been alarming attempts to silence opposing voices and punish dissent, echoing tactics that undermine the essential freedom to speak truth to power. This includes threats to public broadcasting and independent media, aimed at controlling the flow of information.

• Challenges to Due Process and Legal Protections: Moves have been made that threaten the fair application of law, particularly concerning immigration and the treatment of those navigating the justice system. The very idea of "innocent until proven guilty" and fair legal process is being eroded for certain populations.

• Undermining the Separation of Powers: Actions have been taken that seek to consolidate executive power and weaken the checks and balances designed to prevent authoritarianism, directly impacting the fair and just operation of government.

• Erosion of Civil Rights Protections: Beyond specific communities, there's a broader pattern of attempting to roll back federal protections that prevent discrimination based on various identities, leaving many vulnerable.
