"There are a lot of people working overtime to convince Americans that we're powerless, our votes don't matter and that our future belongs to the loudest, cruelest people in the room.I reject that entirely.The truth is that history is full of beautiful stories of ordinary people using the unique skills and resources they have to create extraordinary change. Most people want a country where everyone can live with dignity, freedom, and safety. And if our collective power wasn't real, they would be trying so hard to suppress it."Hope Anyway" isn't about pretending everything is fine when it's clear everything is on fire. Hope Anyway allows us to acknowledge what's happening while refusing to give give up on the change this country so desperately needs. To me, hope is a tool, a discipline and a form of resistance. It's what allows us to keep showing up and fighting for each other.So yes, hope anyway. Especially now."
