The end of Democracy Summer also marks the beginning of our work. We return to our lives and respective campuses equipped with tools for organizing. There is no slowing down here in the triad only the shifting of gears. As meetings, events, tabling, and one-on-one’s count down the end this phase, pre-filled calendars in months to come read full steam ahead. Armed with new skills, we go forth to continue advocating and protecting our democracy by organizing students, creating citywide campus alliances, conducting a women’s assembly, candidate forums, interfaith organizations, passing city resolutions, and continue to engage, empower and build leadership throughout our community. The Democracy Summer experience has been one that has created a familial bond centered in our shared conviction ‘of, for, and by the people’. Besides, a democracy cannot exist without its people. A luta continua!
