Trump may have won an election, but he has not won the battle for our nation’s soul. The only way he does that is if we stop fighting back, and that will never happen. We will resist, we will expose, and we are already preparing for the fight ahead.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.
