I stood today—once again, and again, and again—because our children are being murdered in their classrooms.
Weapons of war don’t belong in our streets. How many children must die before we learn that?

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

This version of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” is a poignant call to action from today’s youth to all grown-ups to stay at the table, show respect to one another and continue to work together to find solutions to make our schools and communities safer from gun violence.

My abiding hope—my abiding prayer—is that we emerge from this ordeal with a new wisdom.
To cherish simple moments.
To imagine new possibilities.
And to open our hearts just a little more to one another.

President Trump has left the White House for the last time.
Note: He began his political career peddling the racist conspiracy theory that the first black president wasn’t born in the US. He ends his term with the first black and South Asian woman VP coming into the WH. Poetic.
It's going to be so nice to have good leadership back in the White House. Congratulations Madame Vice President @KamalaHarris and President @JoeBiden

It is empty when politicians call for healing and peace without stating antiracist policies they want to institute. Words bring momentary healing and peace. Policy change brings lasting healing and peace by rooting out the racism suffocating so many people. We want to breathe.
Friends, we are at our best when we live out of our true selves and encourage others to do the same.
We are at our best when we realize that God is revealed in our diversity, and we are each image bearers of God's beauty and creativity.
Though celebrations may look a bit different this year, the message remains:
God loves you for who you are.
You are loved.
Grace, peace, and Happy Pride! 🌈

There is justice. There is injustice. There is no neutrality. No sideline. No bleachers. No exits.
We are all in the human rights struggle to save humanity from human tyranny. Black people, especially, are struggling for the right to live, for the right to breathe.
Friends,
We are in need of roughly 500 uncoated transparency sheets to finish a batch of face shields for our healthcare workers. I know it's a strange ask... But does anyone have some?
