I have seen your bravery
Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it's what you believe, and the heck with everybody. ― Justin Cronin
America be brave, because you are.
America and the world need a strong America with solid leadership. Unfortunately, the House GOP conference can't seem to do its job. Although Republicans hold the majority, they have done little for the American people. They are now on track to be the "Least Productive Congress Since The Great Depression." No surprise there; they are incompetent, greedy, petulant, and I could go on.
We are all responsible for what is happening. Loss of our freedoms and rights have come from years of "it's not my problem," "I don't have time," "things never change," or "my efforts won't make a difference." Friendly reminder: most people in America do not vote (they can't be bothered). We all have disregarded the corruption we have seen for far too long, and we are now seeing it emboldened (looking at you, Clarence Thomas, George Santos, and Bob Menendez).
As champions for progress, we must double down on our efforts to promote progress, and we have to be willing to get uncomfortable. We must push our leaders to do better in our communities, but we must also push ourselves to talk to friends, families, and people in our communities about issues and voting.
For over two years, I had the honor of joining the Circle of Protection in front of ICE Miramar, and I saw the courage of activists fighting with ICE agents to extend simple rights to folks standing in line. Water, shade, bathrooms- every week, it was a battle. When I joined the busloads of students and parents who traveled to Tallahassee to advocate for gun safety reforms after our losses at Parkland, I saw bravery. When I traveled to Utah to nudge Senator Romney to vote for impeaching Trump, I saw community members come out to protest in a city where I was told, "We don't do that here." I saw bravery. When I joined thousands to march and protest in front of the Supreme Court after the fall of Roe V. Wade, I saw bravery.
America is brave because you are. And we need that bravery now more than ever.

Did you know?
Did you know that if nothing changed and America elected a Republican President and one more Republican Senator right now, there would be a National Abortion Ban, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would be slashed, and there would be zero hope for undoing the damage we have done to the planet? In time, there would be mass deportations, a rollback of same-sex marriage, and an assault on contraception and non-Christian religions.
