America is in trouble. Our democracy is being threatened. We are not up against individual candidates. We are up against organized, well-funded far-right movements to replace our nation’s democracy with their authoritarian government. It’s time for a countermovement. It’s time for ”The Counter”. On February 1, 1960, four black college students sat at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and politely asked for service. Despite being refused and threatened, they remained seated. Their courageous, non-violent actions inspired others to rise and change our country. For years, Diners across America had counters where customers could sit alongside one another and talk. Conversations focused on local, state, and national issues. Newspaper articles were discussed, and thoughts were shared over a meal and coffee. Folks talked about how to make their communities better. Counters are where history is made, communities are built, and change is born. ”The Counter” is where democracy grows. Come, sit with us at ”The Counter” for conversations about a more just America.
