An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Freedom to Vote Act & the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!

924 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

I am writing to you as a constituent to implore you to actively support the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Our free and fair elections are under continued assault. More than half of states have enacted laws that make voting harder for millions of Americans, often targeting communities of color, lower-income voters, and people with disabilities.

In response, it is imperative to pass federal legislation to protect every American’s constitutional right to vote and ensure elections are decided by the will of the people. The Freedom to Vote Act would counteract many of the antidemocratic voting rules being passed in the states, while stopping partisan gerrymandering and reducing the dangerous role of big money in politics. And the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would make it harder for politicians to implement discriminatory voting laws in the first place.

Your constituents are counting on you to be a champion for democracy and to help ensure that our government fairly represents us all. Thanks.

A few days ago reddit user, JoinHomeFront aka Josh Smith, finished the first version of an app they've been working on since November 5th. It's called Homefront and you can join it at https://joinhomefront.org.

Several people here asked for updates on its launch, and while they tried replying to those comments, they encountered a shadowban which prevented them from posting updates as usual; wild, since they were simply replying specifically to people who asked for the link when it launched. they planned to share from their main account once it launched, but that wasn’t possible.

What Homefront offers now: Right now, the app features a to-do list with ideas on how to prepare yourself, your family, and your community in the face of authoritarianism. I’m actively working on new features like:

Sharing resources: books, links, videos, and more

Mapping threats in real-time

Connecting with people nearby

Organizing securely into groups

Pre-built templates for organizing

Your support:

You’ll notice a donation option within the app. Although Homefront is fully open source and contributions are welcome, the development has so far been self-funded. If you’re able and willing to spare a few dollars, your support would be invaluable in keeping this project alive and evolving.

Technical contributions:

If you're a developer and would be interested in volunteering your time, the app is on GitHub at https://github.com/joinhomefront/homefront. The app is React Native with TypeScript, tRPC, PostgreSQL with Kysely, using NativeWind for styling. The README is not up-to-date but I will be trying to update it post-haste.

Feedback Welcome:

I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, or report any issues. Please feel free to comment below or send me a message.

Thank you for your support, and I hope Homefront can become a valuable resource for all of us.

for more information, please see the original reddit post

🚨 How Democracies Resist Authoritarian Takeovers 🚨  

History shows us that **when democracies falter, citizens must act swiftly** to resist authoritarian rule.  

✅ Denmark (WWII): Nonviolent resistance & rescuing Jews from Nazi persecution. 

✅ Czechoslovakia (1989): Mass protests & economic pressure ended Communist rule.  

✅ Chile (1988): A strategic media campaign ousted Pinochet’s dictatorship.  

But why do 30-40% of people in democracies support authoritarian agendas?  

👉 Fear & scapegoating  

👉 Desire for "order" in chaos  

👉 Identity politics & group loyalty  

How do we resist authoritarianism today?

🔹 Expose propaganda with **fact-based journalism**  

🔹 Counter fear with **hopeful, unifying messaging**  

🔹 Strengthen **voting rights & democratic institutions**  

🔹 Apply **economic & diplomatic pressure** on authoritarian regimes  

🛑 The U.S. is at a crossroads. If democracy weakens, resistance must be immediate, massive, and strategic. **History teaches us that authoritarianism can be stopped—but only if we act now.

🌎 Will we rise to the challenge? Share if you believe democracy is worth fighting for. 💪

It’s been one month since Putin ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine. The crimes against humanity can’t even be counted. I pray for Ukraine and the health and safety of all its people. President Zelensky has achieved the unthinkable but at horrific cost. #stop-war #stopputin #prayforukraine #ukraine #zelensky #sanctionrussia #prayforpeace #prayfortheworld #stoprussianaggression #standwithukraine #standupfordemocracy https://www.instagram.com/p/CbgDyx0OiDX/?utm_medium=tumblr
