This whole essay is worth a read! “Before you demand a seat at the table, you should first ask if it’s a table worth being at in the first place. Let’s not pull up chairs at dinner parties that need to be destroyed.”

Find your people and do something good. “Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world. Even when we don’t “win,” there is fun and fulfillment in the fact that we have been involved, with other good people, in something worthwhile. We need hope.” - Howard Zinn
