September 6 and 7 have long been dates marked by events that have shaped the course of history across the globe. Moving back in time to 1620, September 6 marks the day when the Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England, carrying the Pilgrims to the New World. This voyage was pivotal in the foundation of what would become the United States of America.

One person alone cannot shift the tide against powerful institutions that seem to subvert liberty at every turn. But that doesn’t mean we are powerless. Each of us can still take meaningful action. This September, we have an opportunity. September 17 is Constitution Day, marking the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787.
