Resistance = Hope
We have to have hope to resist, and hope is why I show up. The doom and gloom is exhausting and suffocating and trying to raise tony humans in that environment is impossible. I have to believe and I have to hope that things will be better and when we show up and see other people believing and hoping with us it only makes us stronger. Gracie wanted to join me today and I almost knee je**ed with a hare NO... But then I remembered she is what I am fighting for so shouldn't she be able to join the fight? I told her I didn't want to tell her what/why she should protest but that the name of it was "Hands off" and then I explained a couple issues that we were asking for the current administration to keep their hands off of. Well she was quick with her reason and decided she didn't want the government to sell off rights to the public lands she enjoys and believes should stay protected. She drew people holding hands because she said that's how we should protest, by holding hands and staying together.
Am I disgusted that I have less rights than my mother's generation... YES, am I fighting so my daughter can have more rights than me.. YES!! I have a belief and hope that we can do better and I will keep showing up!
