“I can't be a pessimist because I am alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So, I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive, whatever we must survive.” – James Baldwin, 06/24/1963 /end

that we must look out for one another and our communities. ALL members of our community. We must work to find common ground. We must not despair and do their work for them by falling into hopelessness. I’ll stop here and leave you a final quote from James Baldwin. /6

The billionaires, the fascists, and the apathetic politicians that throw vulnerable groups under the bus must be understood as the common enemy they truly are. We must resist the call for minority groups to be scapegoated while our leaders try to push progress backwards, and that means /5

We must demand healthcare for all, access to reproductive medicine, education for all, improvement to public transport, lowering the cost of housing, protection of labor unions, increased investment in green energy, protection of critical environmental regulation, the list truly does go on. /4
