Instead, I’m fighting for what comes next. I want to help build sustainable ways of living, loving, and learning, with fellow humans and the earth. Why? Because I understand that what comes next will be all of us or none of us.

I am for WE.

I am for US.

I. AM. FIGHTING.

Rev. Teña

I am fighting not to return to status quo because I understand status quo still left a significant amount of folk in the margins.

I have made the choice to stay grounded in love understanding that justice IS a part of love. That personal choice is informing what I am adding to the collective.

“It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.”

“Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
