In these difficult times, being seen, speaking out, and supporting one another is vital.
As so many try to drag our country back into darkness, it is important to remember you are not alone. While it is understandable to feel frightened and beaten down, joining with others in the community can help keep anxiety in check and help you feel stronger, while amplifying your voice.
