We have failed our children.
We must show our children strength in adversity.
We have failed the earth.
We must fight for our planet.
We have failed our LGBTQ community.
We must tell our gay men, our lesbian women, our trans brothers&sisters, that we will not stop fighting for them.
We have failed our women, our minorities, our immigrants.
We must honor the sacrifices made in the long, long arc of the moral universe as it bend slowly towards justice. We must continue what those who came before us started. We must not falter.
We have underestimated the power of fear and ignorance and hate.
We must extend love in all directions.
We have failed as educators.
We must educate.
We have elected a bully.
We must not be bullied.
There is no hope, only despair.
Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
