4. We can best honor Heather Heyer through nonviolent resistance.

Stand up, speak out, honor principles of social and economic justice, but do it nonviolently.

I think of Jimmy Carter and his hammer, the Rev. Dr. William Barber II and his speeches, Michelle Obama and her garden and so many more. I don't want our message to be overshadowed by fist fights or broken windows, I want our message to be heard because of determined, nonviolent courage to stand up for what is right.....in a way that honors all the peacemakers that have come before us.

Thank you, H20 Man.
