Quotes The vision of a democratic and open society is one that we need to hold on to, and defend, through these dangerous times. This isn’t the time for us to back down, but a time for us to stand by the courage of our convictions. We are seeing interlocking, systemic failures that demand new ways of thinking and acting. We see flames of hope across the world—roused by a new generation that is claiming its future. They aren’t just protesting bad policy decisions. They are revolting against outdated and oppressive orders.
