This series from Dēmos President Taifa Smith Butler offers her reflections, analysis, and calls to action at a defining moment in our country.
As authoritarianism rises, we are called not only to resist its spread, but to advance a bold, inclusive vision of democracy and economic justice. This moment demands a transformative reimagining of new norms, new institutions, and new forms of power that center Black and brown communities, who have too long been excluded from opportunity and power.
This series extends an invitation to engage deeply with our nation's history, to confront our present challenges with unwavering moral courage, and to reclaim our future.
Together, we have the opportunity to forge a new chapter for our country—one defined by justice, inclusion, and shared power.
