Democracy Spring is Here!
Executive Director Bart Worden and his wife Ruthanne were joined by members of several of our Ethical Societies and hundreds of other passionate activists at the kick-off Democracy Spring rally in Philadelphia on April 2. By the Liberty Bell, speakers (including our own Hugh Taft-Morales, see video of his speech below) emphasized the importance of securing free and fair elections in American for all, not only the wealthy. Marchers then journeyed from Philadelphia to Delaware, then Maryland, and finally Washington DC, where more activities will take place until April 18. We’ll add important videos, articles, and photos here and on Facebook and Twitter.
