In the coming months, people who don't believe in democracy or your rights will expect you to forego your power and just get over it. They will dismiss you and tell you everything is just fine. Don't forget who you are. You are the product of the first nation based not on tribe or race or monarchy or religion, but based on the idea that we are all equal. You have in your DNA the bold ideals of free people whose forbears struggled and fought and died, not just for the idea of democracy but for a true love and commitment to each other. There are people who want to destroy that love and commitment and make us hate and distrust each other. But we will build a community that resists that effort every day and in every way, and we will win.

Issues we care about
If you would like to submit a brief summary of an issue to be considered for inclusion on this page, contact NEBCD.
There are big gaps between Democrats and Republicans around many issues concerning politics and governance.
With so many issues and a lot of contradictory information, it's hard to know where we should be paying attention and what it all means. How do we know what to believe*, much less what to do in such an environment? How do we prioritize what's most important? Above is a partial list of issues, which we add to from time to time, that we think we all should be informed about, with links to other resources to learn more.
