I am pleased to see that this newspaper continues to print letters from different opinions, although in my opinion, you seem to favor those with a conservative point of view.
Perhaps it’s just that more conservative people write in. If that’s the case, I urge my fellow liberal readers to express yourselves, loud and clear, now more than ever. Our democratic republic is in danger, and it is our duty as citizens to speak up and take action before America succumbs to the fascist elements now in power.
Great Neck has a long and proud history of progressive activism, going back over fifty years to the Civil Rights era. Where are all the progressive people of Great Neck in 2020? Don’t stay silent. Now more than ever, it’s time to take action!
I am on the executive board of Reach Out America, a grassroots progressive non-profit organization that was founded over 15 years ago by two of Great Neck’s well known political activists, Shirley Romaine and Fran Reid.
We advocate for human rights, the environment, the social safety net, and world peace. We present monthly speakers on timely topics of interest (meetings will resume in September, online for the time being).
In this time of turmoil across America, I urge interested readers to join this worthwhile organization and make your voice heard.
For more information, please visit our website at https://www.reachout-america.com/ and join us to work for meaningful change on both a local and a national level. We are also on Facebook, at https://www.facebook.com/ReachOutAmerica.LI/ .
