A new Fascism, with its trail of intolerance, of abuse, and of servitude, can be born outside our country and be imported into it, walking on tiptoe and calling itself by other names, or it can loose itself from within with such violence that it routs all defenses. At that point, wise counsel no longer serves, and one must find the strength to resist. Even in this contingency, the memory of what happened in the heart of Europe, not very long ago, can serve as support and warning.

PR Communications: Balancing Content With Engagement To Create Harmony
Build relationships with community members by contributing and supporting the community. When you conduct outreach don't just spend time on your own stuff.
