An open letter to the U.S. Congress

America Runs On Hope—Not Hate

37 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Hatred is not what fuels America. Hope does. We are a nation built on ideals—on dignity, on the rule of law, on the belief that we can disagree without destroying one another. When leaders replace those ideals with rage and division, the foundations of our democracy begin to crack. On Easter Sunday—a day meant for peace, renewal, and unity—Donald Trump used his platform to spread hate. His message attacked judges, political opponents, and the sitting President, all under the guise of a holiday greeting. This wasn’t just inappropriate—it was dangerous. History shows us how democracies fall: not with a single event, but with the steady normalization of authoritarian rhetoric and the silencing of dissent. The path from democracy to dictatorship is paved with messages just like these. I urge you—regardless of party—to speak out. Reject the politics of hate and fear. Stand up for the values that truly make America great.
