Buttons make a powerful statement about our core values and what we stand for. This “I Dissent” button can inspire a dialogue about American democracy and what we can do to ensure its survival. We each have the power to change the world by our thoughts and actions, one conversation at a time. “I Dissent” to anything that erodes the foundation of our democracy as stated in the Declaration of Independence, dated July 4, 1776: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [people] are created equal.”
From Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissent to the SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity, July 1, 2024: “Today’s decision to grant former presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the presidency. It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of government, that no man is above the law. . . . With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”
