Friend, I have great news: we've officially extended the deadline to reserve a copy of my latest book “The Common Good” to Sunday, September 8th.
How can you claim your copy? By becoming a Guardian for Democracy.
Guardians for Democracy are a very special group of Common Cause Members -- who’ve chosen to make an ongoing, monthly commitment to help provide the resources we need to defend our democracy. With just a few dollars each month, they enable us to keep up the pressure on the Trump administration, Congress, and state legislatures.
You see, knowing what funds have been committed not only helps us plan and budget for the future, but also helps us meet unplanned emergencies -- all while assuring Common Cause remains persistent and tenacious on the issues that count.
Your small monthly gift of $5, $15, or even $25 can go a long way. Will you become a Guardian for Democracy by September 8th so I can send you my latest book, “The Common Good?”
Yes! I want to step up and help Common Cause protect our democracy >>
No, I'm sorry, I can't become a Guardian for Democracy today.
Many students of American history say that our greatest challenges have been followed by some of our greatest triumphs. So even though I’m worried about the future of our democracy -- and I’m sure you are, too -- I’m also optimistic for what the future will bring, provided we stand up for what we believe in.
The Trump presidency has magnified problems we already knew existed: special interests shutting out regular Americans... racist voter suppression denying people their basic right to the ballot... and politicians who put their own bottom line before their duty to serve the voters who elected them.
BUT… these mean-spirited and greedy actions have also motivated millions -- literally millions -- of us to speak out like never before. And the biggest lesson I’m taking from the last few years of unprecedented activism is that the power that we have to make a difference is real and here to stay.
So even though at times the political climate looks bleak, I believe we're on the cusp of another great wave of reform. There is a renewed democracy movement growing in America right now, gaining speed and power at the grassroots level. And you are a critical part of it.
There are just a few days left to secure your copy of my latest book “The Common Good” -- so please step up as a Guardian for Democracy today.
In Common Cause,
Robert Reich, Common Cause Member and former Board Chair
and the team at Common Cause
