This design celebrates historian and Boston College professor Heather Cox Richardson, whose courageous and steadfast commitment to truth and democracy continues to buoy millions of us through a tumultuous time in our nation's history.

Through her Letters from An American, she helps her readers see the day's news through the long lens of American history, giving us not only valuable perspective, but also a sense of the role each of us plays in protecting our fragile democracy. Heather has a unique ability to untangle extremely complex issues, using clear, concise, and well-sourced explanations while refusing to dabble in that toxic stew of sensationalism. Her wisdom, encouragement, unwavering optimism, and calm demeanor continue to give us hope at a time when it would be much easier to throw up our hands in despair.

100% of the profits from this campaign go to the Democracy Forward Foundation (https://democracyforward.org/). Democracy Forward is a national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement.

Wear your HCR gear proudly, and show the world that truth, history, and democracy itself still matter. Join me in the ongoing fight for decency and civility, as we make our way to finally realizing our founding ideals of liberty and justice for ALL.
