I’ll put it this way — if you have a tight-knit ANYTHING
• friend group

• arts community
Those are the most likely areas of your life that can become more organized and coordinated, with political study & action
Trauma did NOT make you stronger.
It changed the structure and function of your brain, put you at risk for hormone imbalance + chronic pain, made it hard to discern between calm + chaos.
Let’s not glorify trauma.

Not a single person will be reimbursed for the damage done by ICE in Chicago.
Not a single therapy offer to deal with the trauma of the raids.
Not a single right will be restored.
Not a single family will be unbroken.
Not a single child left unscarred.
This is America.
