I agree completely with the truths articulated by these folks... BUT I can't figure out what concrete actions this group is taking in order to defend those truths. I don't mean to be cynical because every voice that talks about democracy does help in a tiny way...but lots and lots of voices have been criticizing Donald Trump's attack on democracy for a very long time, and look where that talk alone has gotten us... Talk about democracy - and about freedom, the rule of law, etc. - is always welcome. But genuine action and resistance is what is needed. I'll be eagerly waiting and sincerely hoping that this organization does more than praise democracy - that it actually defends democracy in tangible ways.

People with platforms and a bit of reputational power is a very good development. I hope they can muster more than toothbrushes to bring to this gun fight at the OK corral. The other side has lots of very big guns and permission to break the law. Toothbrushes and knives will not be enough for their guns.
