We Will Not Be Silenced.” This powerful call to action emphasises the urgency of defending civil rights and freedoms in today’s climate of increasing oppression.
Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, asserted the historical importance of citizens demanding government accountability. She emphasised that Americans must understand that their voices count, insisting that the government cannot dictate thoughts or stifle freedom, nor can it unjustly seize power, particularly if it means stripping away rights.
Individuals are encouraged to partake in this movement by pledging to safeguard civil liberties. Suggested actions include speaking out against injustices, attending protests, reaching out to elected representatives, supporting civil rights organisations, and circulating vital information on these alarming threats to freedom.
