There are 100,000s of Nebraskans who are concerned about the authoritarian/fascist direction of the current administration. Our Stand Up Nebraska Campaign is focused on empowering the voices of these concerned Nebraskans to be heard. Outlined below is our current two-fold focus.

Full-page Newspaper Advertisement. To educate the public and highlight our concerns about the threats to our democracy, we will publish a full-page newspaper advertisement in the Lincoln Journal-Star. The focus of the ad is an open letter to our members of Congress calling upon them to honor their oath of office and defend the Constitution. The ad will include the names of 100s of Lincolnites who have joined together to publicly express their concerns. Over 500 folks have already signed on to the ad. Our goal is to have over 1,000 names when we publish. The text of the open letter is here.

Outreach and Network Building. As part of this newspaper ad campaign, we are encouraging folks to reach out and invite their friends and families to join in our effort to defend our democracy. Most of know at least 10-20 friends who share our concerns. To defend our democracy, we need to build a network of concerned Nebraskans who can and will act . To be successful, this struggle to defend our democracy, can not be just a one-shot effort.

Currently over 500 folks have signed up to jointly publish their concerns about the threats to our democracy. We hope that you will join us. Please download the endorsement form, sign it and return it today. Then tomorrow, please send the downloaded pdf endorsement form, via an email or text attachment, to 10 of your friends and urge them to sign it and send it in. With your help we can easily reach our goal of 1,000 names.

This outreach to our friends and families is the key to our longer-term struggle to defend our democracy.
