An image of a hero sandwich. The text says "What ingredients are in a democracy sandwich? Deli meat, cheese, onions, mustard, fair elections, due process, separation of powers, rule of law.

Building a sandwich is a lot like building democracy. Each ingredient matters, and the result is something greater than the sum of its parts. Done right, the whole thing holds together — even if it gets thrown around.

"As the women...unite to fight for their rights...you can’t help but think of our current political moment — and feel grateful that the women onstage are unabashedly expressing their outrage." — @sfclassicalvoice www.sfcv.org/articles/rev...

Suffs Tunefully Tells Story Of Women's Fight To Vote In America As Americans today are debating about democracy under the current president, it couldn't be a better time for the inspirational musical, "Suffs".

"As Americans today are debating about democracy under the current president, it couldn't be a better time for the inspirational musical, 'Suffs.'" — @sfgate / @baynewsmatters www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea...

Review: ‘Suffs’ serves up a tuneful tribute to fight for equality Award-winning Broadway hit musical plays at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre through Nov. 9.

"The luscious, exquisite harmonies come in many forms...but don’t be fooled. The sound is fueled by rage, from women unsettled by just merely existing for others to decide their fate." — @mercnews www.mercurynews.com/2025/10/28/r...

Why ‘Suffs’ looks just like Trump protests at the East Bay Coast Guard base The protesters call the president a “tyrant” and refuse to budge from the gates as they demand their constitutional rights.

"In 'Suffs,' activism’s toll is inhuman — imprisonment, hunger strikes, forced feeding, death — yet the women must hold onto their humanity to win and to remember what they’re fighting for." — @SFChronicle (with a man jumping out of his chair! www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Outstanding piece with compelling visualizations. Lee is right--partisan calcification is an authoritarian's dream! We need more dimensions to our political conflict.

I'm trans and I vote, with the colors of the trans flag painted behind the word vote.

Voting is power and visibility. Even as trans people face threats and violence on the streets and in the halls of government, they’re speaking up, voting, and leading. This #TransgenderAwarenessMonth, we want to amplify that San Francisco is an awesome city because of its transgender community 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
