4th of July Wrap Up
There has never been a more fragile time for our democracy. If we don’t stand together, and stand up to protect the values of our system, we risk losing the freedoms our founders created — the ones we’ve been celebrating all week.
The good news: across the country, in state after state, we’re seeing people showing up and getting involved. Whether it’s in conversations about our country’s future, how citizens can play a greater role in politics, or deepening their civic education, many organizations are helping drive real change.
You can play a role right now by making a donation to help the Franklin Project continue to build and defend democracy.
