Take ActionLancaster Stands Up is founded on a commitment to the common good. From raising our voices in our public square to going door-to-door to meet our neighbors, we are taking back our democracy. We the People are organizing ourselves into a grassroots force to challenge the elite interests that have corrupted our political system and sold off our future. We stand together to overcome the forces of racism, sexism, inequality, prejudice, and hate. We believe the time is ripe for everyday Americans—of every race and creed, immigrant and native-born — to stand up together as one united people.
