Power to the People has been a rallying call over many centuries in many parts of our World. These were times of anguish, bigotry of class, gender, race, religion. From that turmoil a systems of Government was formed that many countries now know as Democracy.

Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
