While devastating, the outcome of the election is sadly unsurprising. It is critically important for each of us to take the time we need to process the results. We must remain as whole as possible to face the work ahead. Focus on care for yourself, your family and your community. Tend to yourself, breathe, pause and water your roots with compassion and care.
The work of building a just and equitable present and future for this country remains before us as it has for centuries. As Indigenous, Black and people of color, our ancestors faced more devastating limitations to their humanity and freedom. We and each of you, our co-conspirators, are built for this moment. So rest, root, and recommit tomorrow to our shared vision for what this country might yet become. |
