Kevin Sack dedicated 10 years to researching and writing the history of Charleston's Emanuel AME Church.
In 2015, a white supremacist shot and killed 9 people during a Bible study at the historic church.
How can so much hate exist in a human?

Our theatres, symphonies, museums, arts education orgs, etc. need our support.
The funding cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts has devastated these programs that bring joy to so many people.

Artists are the keepers of values and humanity. They look inside themselves and make others to do the same.
Artists are among the most important people in times like these.

Resistance happens at all levels.
Not everyone can or should be a fighter in the streets.
Be a defender and shelter/shield those smaller than you.
Be a healer for the hurt and the hungry.
Be a writer, musician or artist to inspire others.
Be a saboteur if you must work in the system.

The bible has some barbaric stories, but its message on how to treat immigrants is clear & repeated many times. Here's one example:
‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
Deuteronomy 27:19

2025 Federal funding cuts are devastating to the arts.
if you want to see them survive, please put your money where your heart is and donate to your favorite theatre, museum, public radio program, etc.

Art is worth fighting for. The things you make, no matter what they are, are the fruits of the world we want to inhabit, the world we want to build for everyone. Keep making what you make, you are a candlelight for those who have found you in the storm.

And they help you overcome perfectionism and procrastination!
