Everyone deserves to be free.
Today is Dr. Angela Davis's birthday and we're reminded in these trying times that freedom can't be won alone.
Show up for yourself and your community even when things feel hard. We're stronger together.

The Amon Govaethas smial will be at Westmoot! If you live in the DC/DMV area, we want to meet you!!
Perhaps last year at Westmoot25 you found the perfect smial to join. Or, you were inspired to start your own! Either way, #Westmoot26 will provide the opportunity for smials to meet up, catch up, and share their love of Middle Earth with like-minded friends.
