Durbin, Grassley Introduce Resolution Designating September As National Democracy Month https://t.co/ar8fsGz5RG

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Congressman John Lewis said, ‘Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community.’ Our bipartisan resolution is a call to action to all Americans to continue to strive for our democratic ideals.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

NEW: Chair @SenatorDurbin and Ranking Member @ChuckGrassley today introduced a resolution designating September 2021 as National Democracy Month, which asks Americans to reflect on the contributions of the system of government of the United States to a more free and stable world.

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

With #DemocracyDay today & #ConstitutionDay coming up, I cosponsored a bipartisan resolution to make September #NationalDemocracyMonth.

This effort will help remind millions of Americans about the unique value of democracy and the freedoms it brings.

"Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it." Congressman John Lewis #democracymonth

ADMC was pleased to interview #nathanlawkc about his efforts on behalf of #HongKong #democracy movement.

[Lantos Foundation for Human Rights & Justice @LantosFndn]

Two years ago when @nathanlawkc accepted the Lantos Prize on behalf of @joshuawongcf and the #HongKong democracy movement, he warned that the threats to his city were even greater than the world realized. His warnings proved prescient. https://t.co/yhbIx21yeU

As China attempts to restrict freedoms in #HongKong, #prodemocracy activist @nathanlawkc writes, “Hong Kongers have always created miracles.” Learn more about his fight for democracy in this short video produced by ADMC #democracymonth

Now more than ever, citizens need governments to be effective, responsive and transparent.

Our partners @house_democracy have led three trainings over the past week with members of #Tunisia’s parliament on how to keep citizens safe and informed during #COVID19 #AllInItTogether

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman @SenateForeign]

I’m deeply concerned by the arrests and charging of 15 former lawmakers and democratic leaders in #HongKong. The U.S. undeniably supports the people of Hong Kong, & I'll continue to push for full implementation of the #HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct.

[Miriam M. Lexmann @MiriamMLex]

BREAKING: 15 prominent pro-democracy activists have been arrested in Hong Kong!

Among them is the 81-year old Martin Lee, the fatner of Hong Kong’s fight for freedom. This step once again exposes the true face of the #CCP’s brute regime

[American Democracy Month Council @democracymonth]

As Florian Bieber writes in Foreign Policy, "the pandemic offers dictators-- and democracies like--an opportunity for abuse." We must diligently protect our "democracy"

Dictatorship kills: Authoritarianism transformed #COVID19 into a global pandemic.

Support for democratic institutions can help restore global security and prosperity. @IRIglobal’s @DCTwining and @patrickwquirk explain why in @TheHillOpinion https://t.co/VglIaYp2IQ

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

I joined other senators and members of Congress to express concern to the @StateDept about new laws in Hungary that give Prime Minister Orban the ability to rule by decree and eliminate core elements of democratic accountability. Read our letter here.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Bless the U.S. Postal Service for continuing to deliver our mail and packages during this pandemic. Greet them from a safe distance with a smile and thank you. Or tape a small “Thank You USPS” near your mailbox.

this would not ever happen in a democracy

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

Ren Zhiqiang a Chinese businessman criticized his govt response to COVID-19 &suddenly disappeared As Churchill said "A little mouse of thought appears in the room & even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic." Freedom of speech= even more necessary in times of crisis!1/2

[American Democracy Month Council @democracymonth]

Coronavirus should enlighten maj of Amers under 60 who say it not “absolutely essential” to live in #democracy. Chinese businessman Ren Zhigiang disappeared after criticizing govt handling of #Covid-19. Friends and family unable to reach him. This would not happen in a democracy
