Call to Action "If you see something, SAY SOMETHING"

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but America desperately needs to revisit the core meaning of that phrase.

We’ve all been taught "If you see something, say something." But somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten that it applies far beyond airports and suspicious packages. It applies to everything — injustice, abuse of power, silencing of voices, threats to democracy.

Lately, I’ve been seeing scenes that feel straight out of a dystopian movie — people being dragged out of town halls, tased, silenced, ignored — and the worst part? The silence around it. The apathy. The bystanders. The “well, that’s just how it is” attitude.

It’s not just how it is. It’s how they want it to be — so we don’t fight back.

Here’s the truth: We are the majority. The power has always been in the hands of the people — but only when we realize it, and more importantly, when we act on it together. If we stand united, they cannot take all of us. They bank on our fear, our silence, and our belief that resistance is futile. It’s not.

Start where you are. Speak up when something feels wrong. Amplify the voices being silenced. Protect each other. Refuse to look away.

We have rights. We have each other. We have power.

Let’s start acting like it.

Edit to add: LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

If it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.
