There is no such thing as gentle war.
There is no peace
That can’t be flung aside.
Our only enemy is that which would
Make us enemies to each other.

This keeps coming up for me as I reflect on Intl. Women's Day, the brave interview Meghan & Harry did with Oprah, anti-racism work, the anti-science, deflect-from-failures decision making in our state - all the systems that operate from power-over vs. power with and power to.

Today marks the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the march on Selma. It was a pivotal moment in helping pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today voting rights remain under attack. #choosepeace #peace #racesforpeace #bloodysunday #selma #vote

One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered by two white men while jogging through a neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia. In May 2020, Jim Barger wrote this for @BitterSouth. Read it again. https://t.co/2N41Da1xD1

Be the light in the darkness. Today we remember the 6 million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust. 🕯 #choosepeace #peace #holocaustremembranceday

Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.

Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.

Love puts in the work.
