14. We should form an organization & recruit people like Alvin to join.

Thursday

Call it "Freedom Defenders" or something like that. Get as many high-profile influential people involved as possible.

Position the org at the forefront of the pro-Democracy, pro-Constiution, pro-justice movement. Build an organization that has the human resources to work to rebuild our country in a variety of ways including civil rights, economic, justice etc. It should be activist & make itself visible to the public, not just working quietly & obscurely.

There are many orgs that work on various aspects of the things I'm referring to but I'm thinking of an org could be at the forefront & provide visible & active leadership, as well as coordination of activities with other orgs.

Does such an organization exist?
