Bill Moyers
Image
What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it - as if the cause depends on you, because it does.
Bill Moyers
Image
You only have to glance at the daily news to see how passions are stirred by claims of exclusive loyalty to one's own kin, one's own clan, one's own country, and one's own church. These ties that bind are vital to our communities and our lives, but they can also be twisted into a noose.

Our great progressive struggles have been waged to make sure ordinary citizens, and not just the rich and privileged, share in the benefits of a free society.
