Right now we need to support each other in mourning so we do not get lost in immobilizing despair.
The dream of American that is treasured and desired by so many is our goal and we have taken steps toward, and steps away. It you allow the fact we've taken a step away to kill the dream in your heart you make the progress harder for others by spreading immobilizing hopelessness and cynicism. You're doing the work of those who want to move backwards for them.
I hope that after a time of mourning and shock you find your way back to connection and engagement and again feel the the hope that working on positive changes, however small, with people who share a vision brings.
