I am absolutely amazed watching your neighborhoods, school districts, communities, businesses, and organizations come together. In real time you are all showing us the power belongs to the people. Thank you for all of the small actions that give me hope; facilitating safe drop off/pick up at school, checking in on neighbors, carrying whistles, documenting everything, organizing sites like this, organizing protests, and so much more. What you are doing matters. Your testimonies are important. It is vital that the country bears witness. We are watching, donating, sharing online, and celebrating the small victories too. I wish I could take some of the heartbreak and fear off of your hearts and minds even just for a moment. Keep resisting. With love and rage, Your neighbor
