Defend civil liberties, engage in civil disobedience if necessary

Authoritarianism is a grave threat to our democracy that elected officials can no longer ignore. Complacency aids the decay of our civil liberties and human rights. We must unite and wield the powerful tool of civil disobedience to resist injustice and oppressive forces. History proves that collective defiance through civil disobedience can catalyze transformative change when institutions fail the people. As leaders entrusted to defend freedom, you must take a stand through acts of civil disobedience before authoritarianism extinguishes the liberties that define our nation. The time to boldly confront this existential crisis is now.
