This outcome serves as a potent reminder of community engagement in democratic processes, urging other states to learn from Louisiana’s triumph.

Rachel Maddow called seniors fighting to protect Social Security “the new political leadership in this country.”

Take Action!

We organize. We mobilize. We build people's Power in every city and every state. If DC will not stand up for democracy, then we, the people, must. We need 10 million+ people in the streets—protesting, rallying, shutting down business as usual with work stoppages, boycotts, an"...

"Political scientist Robert Putnam told Judy Woodruff that strengthening the country's #democracy would begin with #grassroots efforts by people stepping up in their own #communities.
