If due process is optional, none of us are safe.

Friends,

This week, Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz told a room full of constituents “If you violated the law, you are not entitled to due process."

That’s not a dog whistle. That’s a bullhorn for authoritarianism.

Because if rights are conditional—if the law only applies to the powerful and the well-connected—then none of us are safe. 

This is how fascism works: first they come for those with the least protection. Then they come for the rest.

And let’s be real, Democrats aren’t going to stop it. If they didn’t draw the line at genocide, they sure won’t draw it for your healthcare, your housing, or your rights.

That’s why we’re doing something different.

This campaign isn’t just about running for office. It’s about building pockets of safety in a collapsing empire. 

Places where rights are defended. Where neighbors stand up for neighbors. Where dignity isn’t decided by your papers, your paycheck, or your party registration.

California can be one of those places. A sanctuary in the storm. But only if we break from the parties that brought us here. 

Only if we elect a Governor that refuses to sell us out to war criminals and billionaires.

We’re building a future rooted in radical solidarity and against corporate appeasement. And we’re doing it with the Green Party because neither side of this broken duopoly will save us.

We’re not waiting for someone to throw us a lifeline. We’re building the damn boat.

Peace and Power, 

Dr. Butch Ware
