Defend Democracy by Investing in Organizers
Join Our Virtual Fundraiser at 3 PM ET Today, January 6th.
Today, we gather not just to remember – but to act.
Four years ago, our democracy faced a historic test. On January 6th, 2021, violent insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Law enforcement officers were attacked, lives were endangered, and our institutions were shaken to the core.
As President Biden wrote in his op-ed today, “Democracy – even in America – is never guaranteed.” Read his full piece here.
While January 6th marks a dark chapter in our history, it also reminds us of the courage of those who defended our democracy and the responsibility we all share in protecting it.
That’s why we’re gathering today.
RootsCamp is a space where we not only reflect but also commit to building stronger, more resilient movements. On this anniversary, we honor the defenders of democracy by raising funds to invest in the next generation of organizers and changemakers.
