We Are Alert.

We are professionals from across the political spectrum who share a profound concern: the democratic norms and institutions that underpin a stable society and a thriving economy are under serious threat.

We are not here to support or oppose any party, policy, or leader. We are here because professional silence helps normalize the erosion of American democracy and prosperity.

We are making our concern visible on LinkedIn by updating our profile photos with the We Are Alert frame. Because we choose not to be silent.

When enough professionals make their values visible, it shifts norms. And norms are what prevent the misuse of power.

Stand with us. Be alert.
