Today’s #NoKingsMarch is that energy in motion. It’s all of us refusing silence, showing up with our voices, our bodies, our joy, and our rage.

Everything feels upside down right now—hate amplified, bigotry rewarded, decency optional. As Tiq says in this clip: “It’s not going back to normal. We have to take up space. We have to be the change.”
