I stand with queer people.

I stand with the disabled.

I stand with native communities.

I stand with trans people.

I stand with women.

I stand with everyone who has been actively disenfranchised in this nation that is supposed to be so great.

It is not enough to stand. We must walk alongside, we must pull each other up, we must amplify each other’s voices. We must seek empathy. We must act. We must get comfortable being uncomfortable. We must have hard conversations. And we must not forget the feelings of today, because they are what will propel us forward.
