Such an awesome human being. I believe she is right that we all have a role to play. “Your life matters, you matter”. If we could get past our scarcity mindset maybe we could take a more generous approach to fellow humans and the earth.

The “No Kings” rallies were “dignified, irreverent, driven by old-fashioned love of country,” George Packer argues. “If anything can rouse the stupefied mainstream in time to stop the collapse of everything good about America, it’s a spectacle like this.”
