Join Camp Democracy Sept. 5th - 21st in DC

Name the only “free” country on earth in which a tiny extreme faction steals elections, attacks basic rights, spies on citizens, and starts wars based on lies, but the people don’t take to the streets in their Capital to protest? If you said the USA, you'd be wrong.

On 9/5 We The People will say “Enough is Enough” at Camp Democracy in Washington. Americans are doing what Ukrainians, Mexicans, and any other people not stunned into apathetic silence would do in the face of tyranny: take back our national capitol with activists, leaders, and artists demanding peace, justice, and accountability. Help Change the Course at Camp Democracy, a non-partisan camp for peace, democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law. Camp Casey will move from Crawford, Texas, to Washington, D.C., joining a larger camp focused on ending the war, righting injustices at home, and holding the Administration and Congress accountable 9/5 - 8, 9/12 - 21: CONSTITUTION AVE, between 14 & 15 Streets, 9/9-11 ON THE NATIONAL MALL, from 3RD TO 7TH ST.
