Manifesto of American Dreamers

---

We did not have to lose these lives. They use racist, anti-semitic, anti-immigrant lies to stoke fear and to sew division amongst us. In an atmosphere where people are struggling with growing poverty and isolation, the right wants us to believe that we are each other's greatest enemy.

Get free with us.

Meanwhile, they make millions off of keeping us divided, while fueling violence so we do away with each other, rather than rise up against them. On Sunday, Brazil elected Jair Bolson as their president.

And in Yemen, everyday, children die of malnutrition at the hands of a senseless war based on power and greed by the Saudi government and backed by the US. These are just some examples of the ways everyday people all around the world are experiencing senseless death and destruction of our communities, while those in power continue to make millions on this division. Here in Florida, Desantis has run a campaign straight from this same playbook.

We recognize that these attacks are all connected and that the only way to fight back is to come together. We are in this together and we all deserve more. We can live in a world without violence.

American Dream

We can live in a world fueled by love, not by anti-semitism, islamophobia, white supremacy, homophobia and hate.

The Dream Defenders stand against all forms of hate and for human rights all around the world.

Now more than ever, we need each other. In the face of such violence, we need to talk to each other.

We need to build deeper understanding across division. We need to listen to each other, rather than those spewing lies about who our communities are. We need to come together to fight the real enemy - the right and the corporations who are profiting off this violence, like the NRA, the private prison industry and the war companies.

We need to stand for one another and speak out courageously against hate. Today, we are asking our supporters to show up for the families of those we lost over the last few days by donating to support them. In this thoughtfully curated, graceful yet punchy book, Courtney E.

Martin has created a holistic, all-in-one manifesto for a brand-new American dream.

After Pittsburgh

A good manifesto for community, belonging, and creativity should be lively and earthy, and this book is both of these. It owns up to our shortcomings, but it is ultimately filled with bright and unyielding hope. This is the American dream I want to aspire to, one that, I believe, all of us long for in our deepest selves.

Martin The New Better Off. The recession was fresh and jobs were scarce. I tried to find a 9-to-5 job, to no avail. Thankfully, it worked out.

I found an intentional community that welcomed me with open arms and helped me find both good housing and meaningful work. Maybe it was the friend who decided that she could ask each neighbor on her block if they would be open to lending her a patch of land — and so her problem of lacking access to farmland could be solved by stitching together by so many little pieces of yard. Maybe it was the rambling old buildings that would otherwise be left to rot and were instead reclaimed and lovingly tended by a motley crew of community members.
