The year ahead will demand courage, accountability, and action. We’re ready to take it on. ✊🏽

We made a list of what we’re more than happy to leave in 2025, and what we’re making sure to bring with us as we head into 2026.

2026 is the year of holding our representatives accountable.

How do we do this? We vote in the midterm elections, stay engaged, and let our representatives know that we are watching what they do in Congress to represent OUR interests.

You’ll be told that:

🗳️Voting doesn't matter
🚫Boycotts don’t matter
🪧Protests don’t matter

But they all do. ✊🏽

This year, we've seen the effects of putting truth to power, and we will be seeing more to come in 2026.
