For the future of our communities and our country, let's choose a different way.

#RejectViolence #SeeTheHuman #CommonGround #CommunityOverConflict #EPluribusUnum #NotAnEnemy

Refuse to share content that glorifies violence or hatred.
→Remember that our shared identity as Americans is more vital than our political disagreements.

This is the single most important thing we can do right now: See each other as people again.

The legacy of this moment won't be defined by the violent few. It will be defined by the rest of us—by the overwhelming majority who still believe in community.
It's on us to:
→Mute the voices (online and off) that profit from turning us against each other.
→Check on your neighbors. All of them.

not just when it comes from the "other side." It's inseeing the humanity in the person with a different yard sign. They are not your enemy. They are a parent who worries about their kids' future, a worker trying to provide, a fellow American.

True strength isn't in attacking your perceived enemies. It's in courageously rejecting violence from anyone, toward anyone. It's incalling out hateful rhetoric in our own feeds and family gatherings.

But we are not powerless. We are not doomed to this cycle. The choice before us is stark: do we descend further into chaos, or do we choose a different path?

We are being fed a lie that the "other side" is not just wrong, but evil. A threat to be eliminated, not a neighbor to be persuaded. This dehumanizing rhetoric isn't just words on a screen; it has real-world, deadly consequences. It leads to threats, intimidation, and unthinkable acts of violence.

You know Frosty went to hell, right? This is so insensitive to snow people. #snowball
