Why It Matters

Fred Trump taught his son that the world is divided into killers and prey. Roy Cohn taught him that appearance matters more than reality. Trump’s business career taught him that you can fail repeatedly and still claim victory. Putin taught him that lies and the corruption of business elites can work. And now, as president again, Trump is teaching the rest of the world’s autocrats and wannabe dictators a deadly lesson: America is no longer democracy’s defender. Instead, we’ve become autocracy’s enabler.

This isn’t just politics. It’s a war for democracy’s soul. And we’re all on the front lines.

Latest News & Updates

Hello Everyone, 

I hope that you all are doing well. Our Bridge Brigade Crew is still out there every Friday morning except in the pouring rain. We learned that it is hard to see us in the dense fog. We had extra brigades around the Prop 50 Election. Kings County had 50% of the voters turn out and this is good. It still did not pass in Kings County but the gap is closing. You can see election results here: https://www.countyofkingsca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/39147/638993204390530000
