Speak Now

By speaking now, you can grow the movement and save our democracy.

Words we live by:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”   ― Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States

About Our Work

Our intention is to use our first amendment rights to share critical news stories, and to help you track the corruption of the Trump administration.  We are dedicated to helping people stay informed of the facts, empowered to stand up for your constitutional rights, and able to take peaceful actions of resistance.  Together we will help our country overcome Trump's attacks on our democracy and common human decency.  

 

We also want to empower you to be able to talk with others about what is happening, armed with accurate information and peaceful ways to create change.  Silence does not create change.  Our heart, our persistence, and speaking now - that is what creates the change. 

Trump works by silencing opposition, spreading fear and misinformation, and encouraging his followers to hate (even to go against their own best interest).  
 
But we won't be silenced and we are not afraid.  We will win this fight with peace, love, and the Truth on our side.

About Samantha

I am one part Jyn Erso...

 If you felt left behind, or lost - me too.  It's then that we find ourselves, right?  It's then we reach a point where we know what we stand for and what we want to lead.  We then know how to help others who are where we have been.

Every rebellion needs a little magic...

One BIG part Luna Lovegood

She inspires me so much, and I relate to her a lot.  I'm a pretty positive person, calm, and different.  I share this because you're my people, you know?  Underestimated.  Made fun of to my face, by people who assumed that the strength of my kindness meant that I was also too stupid to realize.  I talk about that because a lot of you (who will find these words) are incredibly kind.  And we haven't understood others' cruelty, or how to navigate this.  And now is the time to stand proudly in celebrating what makes us different.  

A few times I've been around that track,
So it's not  just gonna happen like that. 

I'm a little Miss Sloane, too.

I have worked for the federal government.  If there is one thing I can't abide, it's lack of integrity in a leader - when people put their own power and greed ahead of what is right for our country, especially as they do so while claiming to be doing "God's work."  My methods are not petty, or ego-based, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that the people have the leadership they deserve.

It's a dance-off, bruh.  Me and you.

Ooooh, ooooh child.

Things are gonna get easier.  Ooooh ooh child, things'll get brighter.  Listen to these words. Ooooh, ooooh child.  Things are gonna get easier.  Ooooh ooooh child, things'll get brighter.

Now bring it down hard. 

This clip is everything.  This is integral to the whole thing.  This is how you get the Power Stone.

I'm through accepting limits, 'cause someone says they're so.

Some things I cannot change, but 'till I try I'll never know.

So often we can hold ourselves back, thinking that our voice doesn't matter, or our efforts won't change things, and so we stay small.  Or we think someone else is going to lead, and we wait for them to show up.  But what if you're the one you've been waiting for?  And so I move forward one step at a time.  The only certainty is what silence would bring.  Instead, what if we speak now to our friends, our family, and our communities.  What if every day, we create the change. 

 

I'm not afraid.  It's the wizard who should be afraid of me.

Unlimited.  Together, we're unlimited.

Why I started Speak Now, Democracy

I wanted to offer clear explanations of what we're facing and the empire we're up against, while also empowering people to speak out in greater confidence.  I want you to feel greater ease in navigating this.  Most importantly, I want to teach you how to take command of the narrative, be a leader, and create the change.  Every truth you speak is a contribution. 

About the Speak Now, Democracy Symbol

When I speak the Truth, I have your back. 
When you speak the Truth, you have my back. And together we are the force that changes the world.

My design was inspired by a symbol of the Allied Forces in WWII, because our world is yet again in the fight to save democracy from authoritarian rule.  And I designed my symbol to let you know that we have each other's backs, and we are going to overcome.

Our Commitment To Nonviolence

Indivisible says it so well - 

"We reject all forms of political violence and intimidation, no matter the source or the target. That’s not just a moral stance—it’s a strategic one. Movements that create lasting change do so by building trust, forging solidarity, and demonstrating discipline, even in the face of threats or attacks.

Non-violence doesn’t mean backing down. It means standing firm in our values, channeling our anger and our hope into action, and refusing to become what we’re fighting against. We are up against a movement that feeds on fear and chaos. Our answer is a movement grounded in courage, solidarity, and the unshakable belief that a better, more just democracy is worth fighting for—together."
