MEET COUNTRY FIRST VOLUNTEER SUZANNE CLANCY
Where are you from?
I live in Del Mar, CA – basically, northern coastal San Diego County.
What has been your focus at Country First?
I’ve been focused on communications/media, as that has been my area of professional expertise.
What was your motivation for joining and how did you hear about us?
Like many of us, I am very concerned with preserving our democracy and want to apply my skill set toward contributing to this cause. I became aware of Adam Kinzinger when he began to speak out following the 2020 election and very much admired him for taking the initiative to step forward and speak the truth. It was after hearing Adam as a podcast guest that I was prompted to reach out to Country First and get involved.
What are your hopes for America in the coming years and generations?
First, I hope that we can work together to defeat Trump in 2024 so that we can preserve our potential for a democratic future. Beyond that, I would like to see our citizens become more educated about the dangers of authoritarianism. Recently, I have been learning more about the 1930s American fascist movement and its support for Hitler, which is frankly horrifying. We should all be more aware of this history and how it speaks to our current moment, particularly the need to guard and unite against the actions of nefarious foreign actors.
Do you think we can right the ship?
Yes, I do believe that or I would not be engaged in this organization
Thank you, Suzanne, for all of your hard work and dedication to promoting and preserving democracy!
