We are experiencing a time in our country and world that is filled with anxiety and fear. As people of goodwill, so we may live into the best of ourselves, we must access joy and awe and wonder as an act of resistance to all that seeks to crush our spirits. To do the work required to bend the arc of justice, we turn to laughter and relationship and celebration to give fuel for our love and our justice.
