3. I am here for the duration for this multi-generational resistance.

It is tough, I can’t process the daily assaults on our liberties. I have a small group of activists and we connect with the larger groups for the rallies, etc. I am volunteering in the Labor Day nationwide event.

We write letters, emails, etc. We promote the efforts to save our constitution. We also tend to our wellbeing and health because this will take 50 to 100 years or longer. I do take gummies at night for relaxation and sleep.

But, I can’t roll up and hide. My family escaped the horrors of fascism to provide an opportunity for me. I must do this for my kids and grandson. I’m using common sense and building a community of support. Find a small local group ! it matters.

Don’t despair ! It is horrific and it will get worse. I pick myself up everyday and do what I can.

Very important to send positive intentions to everyone. We may not have anything else to spread our highest aspirations.
We are doing the rallies and work for Ourselves, to show up for one another on the sidewalks . I don’t expect Republican voters to open their minds or hearts.

* May all beings be surrounded by Loving-Kindness.
