If we are going to save democracy, we are going to need to reach across political lines. We will need the support of more than half of Americans should we have to overthrow a dictatorship. 50% of the vote may not even be enough to win elections in the future. We need to reach out to the center whether we like it or not.
Dom Jones is a minister and community activist who works with businesses and community leaders in Huntington Beach, California, to address the problem of homelessness and to advocate for youth and community services. As an African American Woman in a conservative community, she organizes across racial lines daily. As a minister, she seeks to bring communities together.
Dom Jones led a discussion about the following: 1. How do we build unity across political lines? 2. How does race affect politics? 3. How can we demystify politics for the masses so engagement increases? 4. What are the roots of American democracy as instituted by the "founder fathers" and what were their true intention? 5. What was the great American Experiment truly about and how can we achieve these ideals with real collaboration? 5. How do we uphold the values of freedom for all people, establish and maintain a true citizenry-led democratic government, and ensure a better democracy for future generations? 6. How can we collectively create a people not easily undermined by charlatans seeking power, money, and influence?
