Chris Kluwe

THIS is what civic leadership looks like.

We have Chris Kluwe's back! He's not wrong, and he is on the right side of history!

"MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing," Kluwe said.

"MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably antidemocracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement," he continued. "You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is."

Johnson House

While you are touring history in our country, the Johnson House Underground Railroad waystation is a must see! Johnson House is our history and more. Located in Philadelphia (Germantown area), it is a slice of the past, present and future that must be told and preserved, at all costs. Johnson House "is one of Philadelphia's few intact historic sites and waystations on the Underground Railroad that is open for tours. During the 19th century, and for several generations beyond, the Johnson House was owned by a family of Quaker abolitionists who worked with other European and African Americans – free and enslaved – to secure safe passage to freedom along an extensive network of clandestine routes and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. After visiting, you will leave with an understanding of the audacious men and women who labored for the freedom of others and gain an appreciation for the courageous decisions made by enslaved Africans to embark on a perilous, hope-filled journey to freedom."

Matt Meyer

76th Governor of Delaware, our first state, which, in theory, should be leading the way in progress, given its legacy of Thomas Garrett and John Hunn, including with Harriet Tubman. Governor Meyer is the obvious choice to lead Delaware in the future, for the future of its citizens and our nation, as he is part of the solution, not the problem.

…a former public school math teacher and small business owner who has served as New Castle County Executive since 2017.

From Wilmington to Kenya and Iraq: Growing up in Delaware, Governor Meyer attended schools in the Brandywine School District, followed by Wilmington Friends School, and then studied Computer Science & Political Science at Brown University. He then moved to Nairobi, Kenya, where he learned Swahili and created Ecosandals, a recycled footwear company that sold environmentally friendly footwear to customers in 17 countries on five continents. Governor Meyer subsequently spent 12 months in Mosul, Iraq, as a diplomat embedded with the United States Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.

Yuri's Night

What technology and space exploration should do: bring together, inclusively, while breaking barriers.

How does one fly over our planet, with hate in their heart, and/or while ignoring what is inside of our planet: irreplaceable people surrounded by racism, poverty, lack of representation, and innovation potential through a diverse group of persons?

We will never know where the next great life or environment-saving invention will originate from or through. What we do know, innovation is stalled with racism, discrimination/apartheid and government-sanctioned bigotry. GOP's revenue-losing #TaxCutsAndJobsAct also stalls progress and change, as revenue is required for infrastructure, innovation, education, public safety and more.

Launching parties around the world every year on or around April 12th, in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space on April 12, 1961, and the inaugural launch of the first Space Shuttle on April 12, 1981. We use space to bring the world together, to empower the greatest parts of who we are, and give vision to where we are going.
