Hello All, a huge Rally To Save Democracy is being planned for

Saturday October 5th , 2024 at the Lincoln Memorial in the National Mall from 10AM to 4PM. This date is exactly one month away from the main Presidential Election.

We NEED to protect the rights of our women and LGBTQ communities, and others .

At the DNC convention, Michelle Obama gave us the JOB to do "SOMETHING", and organizing a massive Rally For Democracy in DC on 10/5/2024 is us doing “ SOMETHING “.

> Our grass roots group to help Save Democracy, has established a Facebook Group Page to help promote a huge Freedom Rally To Save Democracy in Washington DC as stated above .

>

> Our Facebook Group can be found by searching FB :

>

> “ Freedom March To Save Democracy “

We have also created a small website for the freedom and democracy rally as well.There is a bit more information on this website.

www.freedomrallytosavedemocracy.com

Where you can leave a message

They had rallies in the 60s for racial equality and rallies in the 70s for women’s rights and we think saving democracy is just as important and maybe even more important. Trying to save our democracy deserves a rally to show we support and will fight for our democracy, freedoms and rights.

We feel , if this rally for democracy catches on, it will spread like wildfire, and possibly 100,000 to 200,000 democracy loving Americans could attend this event. This would be a huge historic rally at this critical point in our country.

We need to keep up the enthusiasm , hope and excitement that is being seen at Kamala and Tim’s rallies, and getting bigger. It would be great to see 100,000 to 200,000 Democracy Loving Americans at the Lincoln Memorial coming together as a way to show the nation and the world that most Americans will fight to save our democracy and freedoms.

>

> In the 248 years of our Democratic Nation, countless men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice and have died fighting to preserve our democracy. Now it is our turn to save our democracy and our personal freedoms.

>

> This would be a huge effort and we are hoping that President Biden and his administration, and the Harris /Walz Campaign team would be able to help with this historic rally to Save Democracy .

> A stage could be set up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where

> motivational speeches could be made by President Biden, Kamala, Tim ,

> the Obama’s, celebrities and others

> Once we get out the word and advertise this Rally for Democracy widely , I think there would be a huge ground swell of support and enthusiasm from the general public who would love to be part of this historic event.

> We have to show Trump , the MAGA Cult , the GOP and especially those people who want to put in place Project 2025 that would decimate our Democracy and our basic rights, that we are not going back and we are NOT going to stand for this Authoritarian future at all . Project 2025 will be devastating to women and the rights to their own bodies.

> The plan in this manifesto would roll back the rights of our LGBTQ communities, eliminate help to minorities who want to move forward, and negatively impact most Americans.

> We are not going back and are not going to accept this dystopian, authoritarian future without a hell of a fight to save our democracy.

>

> Their plans to overthrow our current democratic government and change it into an authoritarian dictatorship, where democracy is decimated ,is too horrific to even contemplate. We have to try to do something to prevent this at all costs.

>

> If there is any way you can help us get the word out to promote ( and even attend ) this rally .....Democracy and America will thank you. If democracy loving people in SubStack can copy , cut and post it in important places, that would be great

If not now ……when would we have a better chance before the November 2024 election to show our absolute love our our country and love of our precious democracy and freedoms.

> Thank you ,

Team- Freedom Rally to Save Democracy

it is a magnificent performance, and a very important message. It should be sent to everybody possible. I’ve sent it out to a bunch of people who I think would take the time to read it an absorb the meaning. I hope everybody does this. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for this link, too. I missed this when he was speaking right after the Insurrection of January 6th. Excellent speech.

Americans don’t get how vicious the authoritarians can get. Down deep, we squirm when we see atrocities.

As relevant today as it was in the 1940’s.

I wish more people saw this, saw The Great Dictator, understood how truly devastating WWII was and how we fight many of these battles still. A case in point: the Liar - your Orange Hitler (I love all the nicknames the writers of Substack have employed) is reviving an old political system that’s been refuted. But there are his idols: Xi, Putin, Orban - and the guy in Venezuela, all trying to bring it back.

Anyway, thanks for posting this. A whole new generation may learn about Chaplin’s genius. And maybe they’ll be inspired to read and learn more. Really - thank you!

Chaplin was blacklisted in America for being a “premature anti-Fascist” after the film. Hating Nazis was a duty in 1943, but a suspiciously soft-on-Communism habit in 1938. Are YOU a PAF?

Thank you, Oliver. I had never seen this movie nor that particular clip. What an amazing speech for our present dilemma. If only Hitler could have really changed like that.
