about speak up, show up
How We Started
Members of the inaugural class of Yale University’s SOM Experienced Leadership Initiative Fellows created this site to help all of us feel empowered to speak up and show up to make difference. We all support the US Constitution and know when we act together we can influence policy, support justice and protect the future of our nation.
Why We Exist
Many Americans feel powerless to stop or reverse actions taken by the Trump administration that do not serve their needs or reflect our Constitution. This platform exists to remind you: You Have Power! And when we act together, we can influence policy resist injustice, and protect the future of our democracy.
What We Stand For
Constitutional Integrity –
Defending the foundational rights that make democracy work.
Nonpartisan Action – Focusing on the democratic
process, not party lines.
Equity & Inclusion – Ensuring that all voices—especially those historically excluded—are heard.
Participation Over Apathy – Moving people from overwhelmed to activated.
