Post march moment

Sunday, January 22, 2017

To all my fellow marchers across planet earth (and all those marching with us in spirit) - yesterday we witnessed and embodied HOPE. We made LOVE a tangible thing, even if only for a few hours.

Please, let none of the negativity you've seen or received regarding the protests ever let you forget the feeling of those crowds, the unity, the joy, the togetherness.

To quote my favorite sign seen all over the DC march - "When they go low, we go high."

Do not stoop to social media banter and arguments. Do not allow yourself to be baited into anger. Live the love and the hope we created yesterday, every day forward.

Lead by example.

We cannot change closed minds. Let those go, and focus on the rest. People who cannot accept dissent want you to lower yourself, so they can then point and say "See? Look at their toxicity!" Instead, rise above.

Rise with me. And let the love and the hope OF yesterday grow and blossom, for it will become the change we marched for, and will continue to fight for.

We are the future. We are hope. Start now.
