Belive that policy can get us places. Helping policy makers imagine and realize the great things they can do in cities, the rural and everything in between.

@lewinthal למעשה יש סימטריה - סימטריה הפוכה. הערכים שאפשרו לך ולי לחברינו בקהילה לזכות בהכרה חוקית הולכת וגדלה ובתמיכה חברתית מתרחבת הם בדיוק הערכים נגדם יוצא טראמפ.

[Amit Ashkenazy @ACallingVoice]

@lewinthal איך אתה לא מתבייש להשתמש בזהות הגאה שלך כחומת מגן לתמיכה בגזען טרנסופוב שפגע בקהילה שוב ושוב ושוב? אין שום סימטריה בין קבלה של אדם על זהותו המינית, דתית וכל מימד אחר, לבין דחייה של עמדות ��זעניות ואלימות שמערערות את יכולתך לצעוד במצעד הגאווה.
