Your legacy is the way you made people feel. Your words and actions and rhetoric.
It’s how you’ll be remembered. It’s your lasting impact on others.
We should be helpers in this world, not only because it’s right and good and just, but because it is the legacy we leave for others.

Black people are still asking for exactly the same things that they asked for in the 1960s: police reform, voting rights, and fair access to employment.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
