We have a moral obligation to speak out against racism, hatred, and cruelty.

We see all of these with Donald Trump and his supporters.

We cannot silently accept the cruelty of unnecessarily separating children from their parents. We cannot accept the racism exposed in their immigration policies.

We cannot accept the hatred in their words. We cannot accept the divisiveness in their politics. We cannot accept the incivility of their actions.

We cannot accept the name-calling and threats they express toward others that might disagree with them.

Whether or not we win the next election, we have a moral obligation to fight back against such negative and destructive politics. We must keep fighting. We have no choice.
