Stop Fascism Action Network

About this user

The challenge of our time, the threat to liberty, peace and justice, will take a strong united coalition built from the grassroots in order to be successfully met. It will require of us the ability to transcend our differences, and to find common ground and common purpose, despite our diversity - and in fact, our union will be stronger for our diversity. We need not agree on everything. We need only to agree on enough that we can work together to protect liberty, freedom and human rights, and to defend these common values from their greatest threat today: the emergence of global corporate fascism. The challenge that confronts us transcends notions of right and left. It requires of us that we build bridges where none may have seemed possible. We need to get together on the basics - liberty, justice, and our most fundamental of human rights. If we do not come together on the basics, we will lose these basic things we thought enshrined forever.

All that is essential to our union is that we agree on two things: Freedom is preferable to fascism, and our liberty is now under attack. If we can recognize this most basic common ground, then we can form a union, a grassroots coalition, that is united across its great diversity on this one goal: the defense of our liberty. If we can come together across the various lines of ideology, race, class, gender, geography, culture and religion, forming a united force rooted in this one shared value, and this one goal - to protect liberty, justice and our fundamental human rights - we can create the broadest, most powerful citizen's movement the world has seen. This is precisely what we need to do.

United we stand -- Divided we fall!
