When a powerful few can buy influence, bend institutions, evade accountability, and strip rights from millions, democracy becomes government by wealth and privilege. Our republic belongs to the people, not oligarchs and would-be autocrats. #Democracy #Surge4Democracy

The background is an image that is a silhouette of people protesting with their fists raised high in the air against the background of a clear blue sky with the sunset lighting the scene from behind. In the center of the image is a rectangle that is made octagonal because its corners are cut off. In the center of the rectangle is a quote that reads: “The supreme issue, involving all the others, is the encroachment of the powerful few upon the rights of the many.” The quote is attributed to Robert M. La Follette Sr. In the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com and in the bottom right is the surge4democracy logo.

Democracy is not a finished achievement handed down to us. Every generation must build it anew; expanding freedom, defending human dignity, and ensuring everyone has a voice. Democracy belongs to all of us, and its future depends on all of us. #Democracy #Surge4Democracy

The background is an image of a dark sky full of stars with a bright band running through the middle. In the middle of the image is a rectangle which is octagonal as the corners are cut off. In the center of the rectangle is a quote that reads: “[The] task of democracy is forever that of creation of a freer and more humane experience in which all share and to which all contribute.” The quote is attributed to John Dewey.

Public office is not a throne. Presidents, governors, legislators, and judges are entrusted with power that belongs to the people. They are our representatives and servants, not our rulers. In a democracy, sovereignty belongs to us. #Democracy #Surge4Democracy

The background is an image taken deep in a green forest with sun shining through in rays through the canopy of leaves onto the forest floor. In the center is a rectangle which is made octagonal by the corners being cut off. In it is a quote that reads: “In free governments, the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns.” The quote is attributed to Benjamin Franklin. In the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com and in the bottom right is the surge4democracy logo.

Justice cannot mean one set of rules for the powerful and another for everyone else. A law worthy of a democracy must bind those who write it, those who enforce it, and those who govern under it. Equal justice means no one is above the law. #RuleOfLaw #Surge4Democracy

The background is an image of some large, marble columns behind a few steps, like those outside courthouses or federalist style memorials. In the center of the image is a rectangle that is octagonal with the corners cut off. The quote in the middle of the rectangle reads: "An unjust law is a code that a majority inflicts on a minority that is not binding on itself. This is difference made legal. On the other hand, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow, and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal." The quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com and in the bottom right is the surge4democracy logo.

Freedom cannot exist where some citizens stand above the law while others live beneath it. Democracy demands equal rights, equal protection, and equal accountability. No rulers. No second-class citizens. No exceptions. #Democracy #EqualJustice #Surge4Democracy

The background is a clear blue sky with an American flag that’s partially in frame waving, and fading to transparent towards the middle. In the center of the image is a rectangle that is octagonal with the corners cut off. The quote in the middle of the rectangle reads: “Freedom in a positive sense is possible only among equals.” The quote is attributed to Hannah Arendt. In the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com, and to the right is the surge4democracy logo.

Tyranny thrives when citizens are isolated and convinced they are powerless. Democracy survives when we organize, stand together, and defend one another’s rights. Our greatest strength has always been collective action. #Democracy #CivicAction #Surge4Democracy

The background of the image is of a microphone in front of a blurry auditorium. In the center of the image is a semi-transparent rectangle that is octagonal with the corners cut-off. The quote in the middle of the rectangle reads: "If each citizen did not learn, in proportion as he individually becomes more feeble, and consequently more incapable of preserving his freedom single-handed, to combine with his fellow-citizens for the purpose of defending it, it is clear that tyranny would unavoidably increase together with equality." The quote is attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. At the bottom of the rectangle to the left is the URL surge4democracy.com and to the right is the surge4democracy logo.

A democracy cannot serve the people when government is captured by concentrated wealth. Billionaires and corporations should not have more political power because they have more money. Government must answer to the people, not the highest bidder. #Democracy #Surge4Democracy

In the background is a photo of waves crashing on the shore of a beach at sunrise and the morning sky is colored orange and blue as the sun rises behind some clouds. In the center of the image is a rectangle that is made octagonal because its corners are cut off. In the center of the rectangle is the quote: "Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master." It is attributed to Mary Elizabeth Lease. At the bottom left of the rectangle is the URL surge4democracy.com and the bottom right has the surge4democracy logo.

The powerful will always be tempted to accumulate more power. That is why liberty is safest when it belongs to the people; not presidents, oligarchs, parties, or corporations. Democracy means the many restraining the ambitions of the few. #Democracy #Surge4Democracy

Corruption begins when leaders stop seeing law as a restraint on power and start seeing power as permission to ignore the law. A republic cannot survive leaders who demand freedom from accountability while denying it to everyone else. #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Surge4Democracy
