We are better than this, and we must be.

Art by Liberal Jane

A reminder, as we’re all processing and grieving. “There is no right way to protest”. . Protest is simply standing up in your convictions as an inner duty. It’s opens a space that “evades control”. “Protest extends an offer to anyone who is powerless, underprivileged, or marginalized to identify with it.” Please don’t discredit people’s protest WITHOUT trying to understand first. The pain is real. The hurt is real. Instead of critiquing, speak your truth in love that we may agree and move forward in unity. Sending love to everyone hurting ❤️ Quotes by Trevor Noah and the book, “protest: the aesthetics of resistance” by the Lars Muller Publishers
