This Thanksgiving consider including democracy in your list of blessings. Or maybe saying “thanks” to all those working to defend and improve it.
Just a few things democracy gives us:
- a bulwark against those who would deprive us of our freedoms
- a voice in collective decisions
- a way to express–and enhance–our autonomy
- a means to work together on common goals
Of course, our democracy remains a work in progress. But this Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to be glad it’s still there to work on.
