Hi Friend,

 

Unite America stands in solidarity with those who have been peacefully
protesting against injustice. 


We cannot and will not be united as a country until there is an end to
systemic racism. 


This fight is about what it means to live up to our highest ideals as
Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans. 


In helping to foster a government that truly represents the people and gives a
voice to all –– as our co-chairs explainin a new Letter
<[link removed]>
–– we are committed to doing our part.


Stay safe,

Nick

A Letter from Our Co-Chairs
<[link removed]>

Unite America co-chairs Kathryn Murdoch, Shawn Riegsecker, and Charles Wheelan
write:


"We need to restore faith that all Americans have voice and opportunity, and
that our elected leaders are acting on our behalf. We need to give more voice
to Americans, particularly communities of color, who feel powerless and unheard
and violated by our institutions.”

 

They say that efforts to expand voter participation, end gerrymandering, and
implement ranked choice voting will “give us a better, fairer electoral system
so that our democracy can help heal with what ails us.”

Is America at a breaking point?

Vox’s Ezra Klein reminds us: “When the Civil Rights Act passed, it did so with
Republican votes, even as it was signed by a Democrat. Imagine legislation of
such consequence passing without partisan valence today.”


That political system of the 20th Century, albeit severely flawed, is no
longer here. Instead, we are now neatly sorted into two parties along
self-reinforcing social and ideological lines. 


“Our divisions define our parties and our institutions crack under the strain;
Congress can’t resolve small disputes, to say nothing of fundamental fractures.”

The situation is dire. We need a better normal at the end of this — and peace.

Danielle Allen, contributing columnist for the Washington Post writes: “When
you have a legitimacy crisis, and cycles of disempowerment across society, not
only for black and brown citizens but also for white, for rural as well as
urban, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when you have revolution in your
streets. The issues people confront are legion and conflicting. What unites
them across ideological divides is a conviction that our processes of
governance are failing to deliver security and opportunity."
