Join attorney Augustus Corbett, one half of the Defiant Lawyers, as he tackles one of America’s most pressing issues: the defeat of Donald Trump and the MAGA Project 2025. Corbett lays out three compelling reasons why this battle is crucial, focusing on defending democracy, challenging Project 2025’s agenda, and safeguarding civil rights.
Corbett argues that Trump poses a unique threat to the rights and freedoms of African-Americans and to democracy itself. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” echoes a past filled with injustice, racism, and inequality. African-Americans have endured grave injustices and the struggle for civil rights continues. Corbett insists that returning to an era where rights are suppressed is unacceptable.
The first reason to rise against Trump is to protect democracy. Citing the words of J. Michael Luttig, Corbett warns of the danger Trump and his supporters pose to future elections. Preserving democracy means rejecting any move towards authoritarianism and defending the freedoms fought for by countless Americans.
Defeating Project 2025 forms the second pillar of Corbett’s argument. This right-wing agenda seeks to reshape government around white Christian nationalist ideals, threatening to dismantle hard-won civil rights. Corbett highlights the historical weight this carries, urging viewers to understand the importance of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, key protectors of African-American freedoms.
Lastly, Corbett emphasizes the need to demand civil rights. If democracy crumbles, so do these rights. The fight is ongoing, and every step back imperils decades of progress. The passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is crucial to restore voting protections.
Corbett calls for “impact voting,” urging African-Americans to vote in mass numbers to push back against right-wing power. He stresses the danger of apathy in elections, encouraging everyone to register to vote and turn out at the polls.
The stakes are high. This fight is not about party politics; it’s about unity in defending democracy and civil rights. Watch the video, get informed, and take action.
