It is also when the poor and marginalized are able to assert their rights, and win them.

These inequities should be changed However, the change must begin with ourselves.  We must bring to bear our knowledge and skills to make democracy work well.”

It is made firm by only effective citizen vigilance that extract accountability from all those who represent or tasked to represent others whether as public servants or heads of private organizations.
