Friend of mine just reminded me, "There's more of us."
More of us who support democracy. Who wear masks. Who care.
And yes, a small number of people can do great harm, but we CAN live in a kinder, more just, more loving country.
and he followed that with "Justice is love made public."
He also pointed out that many states will react with more restrictive voting laws, and we need to keep our eye on that.
Yes, for sure, but even more importantly, we need to make sure people do exercise their right to vote.
The way Stacey Abrams got so many people to do.
We need to keep that momentum going, and build on it.
Amen.
Stacey Abrams was interviewed by one of the Twitch streamers I follow (Tanya DePass, a woman who heads an organization promoting diversity in gaming). And when Tanya asked her about overcoming apathy to motivate people to vote, Ms. Abrams replied that she didn't think the issue is really apathy--but despair. People don't think they can make a difference. And she's determined to show they they can.
Stacy Abrams just proved to people their vote can make a difference. ❤️

You just gave me happy tears.
@evamarie @tyghebright @janallmac She will always be my Governor in my heart, and I’m so thankful she did what was needed for the sake of our state and the country. She’s an amazing leader and organizer and I know she will do more amazing things ahead.
