When people feel like they have a stake in their government, they are more likely to be invested in their community and to work together to solve problems. And that's what we need more of now than ever before.
Of course, democracy is not perfect. It can be slow and messy, and there will always be people who try to undermine it. But I believe that it is worth fighting for. Because democracy is the only system that can guarantee that everyone has a voice in their future.
The future of democracy is in our hands.
We need to make sure that everyone has the right to vote,
We need to hold our elected officials accountable, and
We need to continue to fight for the values that make democracy possible - like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the rule of law.
If we do these things, then I believe that the future of democracy is bright.
But if we don't, then we risk losing everything that we have fought for.
So let's all do our part to make sure that the future of democracy is one that we can all be proud of.
