Now more than ever, we must show up for the people who show up for us.
🙌🏼 Take a moment this week to thank a public servant. Write a note. Make a post. Send a coffee. Support their work. Their job is to serve the public - it’s our job to stand with them. 4/4

Watch Bonhoeffer. Same Christian media studio used for Sound of Freedom. The movie is about a German pastor who was brave enough to stand up to the N*zis. One of the scenes is almost identical to what occurred yesterday.

You cannot love your neighbor while accepting less for them and their family than you do for you and your own." - Mika Edmondson

Reintroduction! A bit about me: I became a public library director at 30, an elected township trustee at 34, and now I'm the campaign strategist for the national PAC for libraries. Excited to connect and champion the power of libraries and literacy together! 📚 #LibraryAdvocacy #Freadom
