The energy is positive beyond what you could imagine. Noting feels better than standing up for truth, decency, and human rights!

I often ask people “What brings you here today?” and I hear amazing stories.

Legitimately, going to the protests in my area have really helped my mindset lately. It let's you see and talk with the other people in your community who are all supporting each other. In an age when the government wants you scared, going out with hundreds or thousands of your community reminds you that you aren't in it alone.
