Our Call to Action: A Fourth of July Declaration for Today’s America

July 4, 2024 By Egberto Willies

A renewed commitment to progressive values this Fourth of July is essential. Today’s political climate draws historical parallels. Let’s ensure America remains true to its founding principles.

Podcasts (Video — Audio)

This morning, the 4th of July, I woke up with angst but a positive spirit. I wanted to remind all of us of who we are. In that light, I created the following video built on a few pages of a book I wrote a few years ago when we were going through a similar period, though not this dangerous. Please take the time to watch the entire video or podcast.

A renewed commitment to progressive values this Fourth of July is essential. Today’s political climate draws historical parallels. Let’s ensure America remains true to its founding principles.

  • Reflection on Current Challenges: I reflect on the heightened anxiety I feel today, which is similar to what I experienced in the early 2000s. I emphasize the need for the progressive movement to defend equality, justice, and opportunity against our current threats.
  • Historical Parallels: I draw parallels between today’s political climate and past administrations, particularly the early 2000s and the Reagan era. I highlight how Reagan’s policies initiated a long-term decline and recall the oppressive atmosphere of the early 2000s.
  • America’s Crossroads: I stress that America is at a critical juncture. We must choose between continuing to increase inequality and eroding democratic values or embracing a future that champions justice and equity.
  • Personal Perspective: My history as a Panamanian-American educated in the Canal Zone offers a unique viewpoint on American values and the nation’s global image. I emphasize the strength we derive from our diversity and innovation.
  • Call to Action: I call for a renewed commitment to progressive values and collective action to fight against divisive and authoritarian forces, ensuring America remains true to its founding principles of freedom and justice.

I want to hear from you. Please comment and let me know your thoughts. We will win this.
