Join Cape Cod Women for Change (aka Mid Cape Indivisible) in partnership with Indivisible Outer Cape, Lower Cape Indivisible, and 50501, on the anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. In 1775, our country wanted to establish our own government, free from the monarchical control of Britain. Paul Revere’s midnight ride started on the 18th and ended on the 19th, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles were a victory for the American militia and led to increased support for the anti-British cause.
Now, 250 years later, our democracy is at stake as we slip back into a government that only works for a few (the billionaires), instead of all of us! We need to advocate to stop the grift! The President and billionaires, like Elon Musk, should NOT be financially benefiting from their position within the government. This is wrong! We need our systems of checks and balances to be upheld, by allowing congress to exercise their oversight power, and honoring the court’s rulings, or else our founding documents that outline our democracy become nullified.
We must protect our freedoms, as outlined in the Constitution. We must stand up for those directly in harm’s way, if you come for one of us, you come for all of us. We all agreed “Never again!” after reading Martin Niemöller ‘s famous poem., “First They Came.”
