![The background is an image of a dark sky full of stars with a bright band running through the middle. In the middle of the image is a rectangle which is octagonal as the corners are cut off. In the center of the rectangle is a quote that reads: “[The] task of democracy is forever that of creation of a freer and more humane experience in which all share and to which all contribute.” The quote is attributed to John Dewey. In the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com and in the bottom right is the surge4democracy logo.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4iqkumr6cvbfbfzelldlmwma/bafkreicvrmnxiouhfm5lzahm3x4xwrgeizsrf5lsr6k63oet4pz44uhesu)
