Letter to the I: Liberal Values Letter

Amid the cheerleading coverage of the Royal visit to Poland, one issue that has been left at the wayside is promoting the values of liberal democracy abroad.  In Poland especially the values of both democracy and liberalism are under attack, with a government that is securing control of the judiciary and rolling back women's rights.  Royal visits do nothing to promote these values and cuts to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will only make this task harder.  To make matters the US State Department, which helps activists all over the world, is having it's budget slashed.  Our motto in promoting these values should be the same of the Polish who fought for independence; "for your freedom and for ours".
