...century. Demonstrators have historically wanted subaltern groups to speak for themselves, but they have also wanted them to have a chance to simply speak. Now that our national politics have empowered those with a traditionally marginalized race and gender, we should foster a political climate in which they can transcend those particularities and debate instead about the urgent concerns of our nation’s governance...

If you care about America's security first, Orr argues, you want to stop sending billions in oil money to our enemies. If you care about the economy, you want to make sure the U.S. does all it can to create a clean energy sector that could create millions of new jobs. If you're religious...
