About

I’m Tina, a lifelong New Yorker with a deep commitment to defending democracy, justice, and freedom. Having lived in multiple cities across the state and now based in northern New York, I’ve witnessed firsthand the diverse challenges our society faces—and the urgent need to address them.

This blog is unapologetically pro-democracy and firmly opposed to fascism and oligarchy. I believe that freedom and equality are not privileges but fundamental rights that must be protected for everyone—regardless of who they are, how they identify, or where they come from. Through The Bridges We Build, I share my research and perspectives to expose the threats undermining democratic institutions and social protections.

My goal is to inform, inspire, and encourage action. By breaking down complex issues and highlighting what’s at stake, I hope to empower readers to engage critically and take meaningful steps to safeguard our shared values.

Thank you for visiting—your curiosity is a vital first step in building a future rooted in accountability, justice, and equity.
