Jester TownCrier

My name is Jester Towncrier, and I'm hoping to embark on a cross-country journey to educate Americans about their constitutional rights and the power they hold to demand change. Inspired by the current political climate and my experiences as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement, I feel compelled to act now. I plan to perform as a town crier from the 1770s, ringing a bell and sharing the message that citizens can petition their governors and invoke Article 5 of the Constitution to hold our leaders accountable. This mission is deeply personal to me. As a survivor of the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center, I've seen firsthand the impact of government decisions and the importance of standing up for what's right. I believe our democracy is at a turning point, and it's up to us—the people—to protect it. My performances will be peaceful, informative, and designed to inspire others to get involved, whether by contacting their governors, showing up at their state houses, or simply spreading the word. The funds I raise will go directly toward ensuring my safety and the success of this mission. I'll need personal security, travel expenses, flyers, permits, and the flexibility to move quickly if needed. My hope is to gain recognition as an official Town Crier, which could provide legal protection as I continue this work. If you share my concerns and want to help protect our democracy, please consider supporting my journey. Your donation will help me stay safe and amplify this important message. Together, we can make a difference.

Vote accordingly.
