Dear Donald,

Have you noticed something, lately? People are so pissed off. They’re pissed at you, and your team and everything you all stand for. And, I hate that they have to be. I hate that hate prevailed last November. I hate that you’re actually making good on many of your campaign promises because they’re disgusting. They’re filled with xenophobia, lies, and deep, deep betrayal of the foundation of this country.

But out of all this anger is something so beautiful.

Action.

Participation.

Compassion.

People are standing up for people to degrees I’ve never seen in my lifetime.

We’re shouting it from the streets of every city in this country and the world. We’re at airports, refusing to back down. We’re writing letters. We’re calling our officials. We’re sending you videos and trying to call your home.

From as far back as I can remember, my generation has been pegged as apathetic, having never been through anything that called us to action like our parents are grandparents. That’s all changed now and I guess all I want to say to you is, open your eyes. Open your heart. Do the things you’ve asked all of us to do for you. Acknowledge what’s going on. Slow down and really consider your actions.

We are watching you and we’re not going anywhere.

Brittany
