National Unity, Progressive Politics, and Public Ownership of LIPA: Reader Perspectives

Americans’ division can be healed by being civic-minded. Loving is more challenging than hating, but the U.S. is a united nation with the purpose and goal of togetherness. It is vital for adult citizens to stay informed, be involved with voting and other civic activities, put country before party, maintain civility, be open to compromise, uphold non-violence and promote mutual respect. It is important to remember that Americans share rights and obligations, and failing to uphold these ideals could lead to internal threats. Therefore, vigilance is crucial in promoting democracy to prevent the influence of strongmen and dictators. Additionally, advocating for respect and focusing on the obligations of freedom as citizens will help to build a united America.
