Friend,

One of the cornerstones of American democracy is under unprecedented attack. Trump and his MAGA cronies have set their sights on the First Amendment because they know that when we speak up and speak truth to power, we win. 

From escalating efforts to silence journalists and dissenting voices, to weaponizing government power against peaceful protest and free expression, these assaults are growing more dangerous every day. 

When the right to speak freely is threatened, all our freedoms are at risk. We have to fight back, and we have to do it fast. 

The attacks we see today are not isolated; they are part of a coordinated effort to undermine the very foundation of our democracy. 

We must be vigilant. We must be loud. We must fight back. 

- Eric
