5. I will take care of my family

Nov 2024

My friends, my people and key allies (LGBTQI and Jewish Communities). I can do that locally. I can reach out and open a door to my home for someone I'm terrified for.

But I can't do more than that.

Social Issues and Democracy that black women centered in their votes this election were not enough. And I can't be a fake and pretend that those things don't matter just to win elections.

It was a smack in our faces.
