A Call for 10,000 for Democracy
Our historic moment is defined by two opposing forces: corporate capitalism and democracy. We see this struggle in every part of our lives and we recognize the high stakes involved for the future of our society.
Issues that at first appear as distinct as the climate crisis, the targeting of black and brown communities, student debt, and retirement insecurity are in fact all shaped by one question: Who rules?
While the struggle for democracy is not new to the American experience, it has taken on a renewed sense of urgency over the past three decades. The forces of corporate capitalism have gained the upper hand and the great majority of Americans are now completely disconnected from the decisions that define their lives.
For ten years the Liberty Tree Foundation has been advancing the democracy movement by providing vital support to grassroots campaigns for democratic reform including groundbreaking efforts to reclaim the national guard, empower our local governments, democratize higher education, end corporate personhood, and much more.
And the Democracy Conventions that Liberty Tree has organized have united these efforts by bringing together hundreds of organizations from across the United States to plan the next stages of struggle.
The benefits of joining 10,000 for Democracy are far reaching:
- By joining, we personally become part of a national community of people committed to creating real democracy here in the U.S..
- By joining together to form a core of 10,000 people associated with Liberty Tree, we form a social network that reaches tens of millions.
- And together, with 10,000 committed to democracy, we can sustainably fund an unusually radical, effective, and independent organization: Liberty Tree.
Our goal here is clear. We must build an unstoppable movement for deep systemic democratic change. To do so we must involve millions of people in efforts to democratize all areas of society, including our workplaces, schools, media, environment, military, political and legal systems. By doing that, we make the democracy movement a meaningful presence in the everyday lives of tens of millions of people.
Be a part of history – make yourself counted as one of 10,000 visionaries who believe that a democratic future is both needed and possible, and who are ready to support the movement that will make it a reality.
