We’re putting up signs on the west lawn of the US Capitol today.

Each sign represents the story of one of our members from across the country calling for lawmakers to pass policy requiring Big Tech platforms to #DesignItForUs.

Allow us to be that crowd. We've got a megaphone.

[Cory Muscara @corymuscara]

When working on something difficult, imagine a crowd of people cheering for you.

It's a pleasant alternative to the usual crowd of inner critics.
