A poignant moment came during the East Bay Town Hall, where Mateo from @oasislegal.bsky.social urged us to become “sanctuary people” ready to show up & protect the most vulnerable.

Read a recap & watch the recordings of our Town Halls at www.horizonsfoundation.org/town-hall-re.... One takeaway: speakers emphasized that we’re in a moment of profound possibility. Mimi Demissew, ED of Our Family Coalition, challenged us to look beyond just returning to a “pre-Trump” America.
