You all didn’t ask to be on the frontlines of defending our democracy, you didn’t deserve the invasion, and yet, you didn’t hesitate. From acts big and small, you do what’s right, you put yourselves at risk, you show up and speak up, you speak truth to power. You stand with your neighbors and strangers a like. You are the epitome of what it means to be good and decent and you are the essence of the best our country is. We are with you, we appreciate you and all you do and we stand with you.
