A history of protesters and dissenters against the status quo has taught us many lessons. Bob LaFollette taught us the importance of progressive economics. Ralph Nader taught us the importance of corporate accountability. John L. Lewis taught us the importance of justice for workers. Rachel Carson taught us the importance of environmental accountability. Mother Teresa taught us the importance of compassion. Thomas Jefferson taught us the importance of democracy. George Washington taught us the importance of nationhood. Mahatma Gandhi taught us the importance of the dream of freedom through soul force. Susan B. Anthony taught us the importance of the dream of gender equality. Abraham Lincoln taught us the importance of the dream of union through equality. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us the importance of the dream of racial equality. And Jesus Christ taught us the importance of the dream of peace and personal transcendence.
Together, we can teach each other the importance of running a nation through community.
Join me in turning cynicism and defeatist mentalities into optimism and dreams of a better world.
