Rescuing Democracy One Person at a Time

BlueNovember.Org is a St. Clair County, Michigan, grassroots, progressive group of citizens who are working to transform our local, state, national, and world communities. We might not be able to change the social conscience of the world in a giant leap, but we can surely make progress toward rescuing our democracy one step at a time, one person at a time.

BlueNovember.Org began when we held a Funeral for the American Dream on January 20, 2005, the dark day that gave the Bush administration four more years to do things they so love to do: gut our economy, weaken our standing in the world, torture more people, wage an immoral war, ignore the needs of our Katrina victims, vilify science, kiss up to the religious fanatics (American al Qaeda), provide millions in corporate welfare, ruin public education, spy on people without court order, and create more hate in this country than we've had since the civil rights era.

A funeral might sound like the end, but for BlueNovember.Org, it was the beginning.
