A call to action.

Americans are calling on Universities, CEOs, and people in power to stand up to Trump’s ongoing attack on Democracy. “I am really hopeful that people understand that quietude and passivity are just as bad as active collaboration,” says former Governor of Washington Jay Inslee. “If you know a college president, if you know somebody who's in a big law firm, if you know somebody might be a CEO, urge them to get in touch with their courage.” The time to speak up was “yesterday,” says Inslee.
