A graphic with a background of a beach at sunset, waves rolling onto the shore under a colorful sky. Overlaid text reads: “A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied. And it is not true that the recognition of the freedom of others limits my own freedom: to be free is not to have the power to do anything you like; it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future; the existence of others as a freedom defines my situation and is even the condition of my own freedom. I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison.” Below the quote: “Simone de Beauvoir” At the bottom: “surge4democracy.com” In the lower right corner: Surge 4 Democracy logo.
Freedom that denies others is domination and not freedom at all. Real democracy means defending each other’s rights, not taking them away. Your freedom and mine rise together. #Surge4Democracy #Freedom #Solidarity
