In order to defend our rights, we need a new constitution.

The slaver constitution is being used not just to destroy reproductive rights, but the rights of all people in the name of profit. This constitutional order is working as intended, overruling popular will wherever it goes against the interests of the elite.

Now we have to take a stand! is already plotting to steal the next election and undermine what little representation we have in government. We cannot give up without a fight.

So as we return from Independence Day weekend, let’s not thoughtlessly celebrate a history of slavery, genocide, and repression of workers. Instead, let’s commit ourselves to digging in to fight for a new constitution that serves the many, not the wealthy few.

In recent years, Chileans have struggled to overturn their undemocratic political system and write a new constitution. Americans should take Chile’s lead and fight for a new constitution too.
