What an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DAY YESTERDAY!
We are coming together in ways we've never been united before! United in the idea to ACTUALLY MAKE AMERICA GREAT! Our country's best days are still ahead of us, and we are creating a movement to make our future better than we can even imagine!
And we don't have politicians leading the movement. We don't have money funding it and corrupting it. We don't have big egos breaking it.
We have ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.
We have stay at home moms collecting data and creating graphics, and doing things they've never done before. We have computer data people by day working at night to update websites and social media and communication platforms. We have activists taking skills they learned in small local non profits and using those skills on a bigger scale to plan, act, implement, and coordinate with other non profits and activist organizations to amplify the message together.
We have you. And we have the person who stood next to you at the protests and we have all of the amazing people who couldn't make it who shared videos, who sent messages of support, who can also proudly say "I am 50501!"
We have inspired our children to attend with us. Or our children inspired us to STAND WITH THEM. And we are inspiring our friends and our neighbors to protest with all of us, often for the first time in their lives!
I read a comment criticizing the protests as an amateur hour. And that's because we are amateurs at this. Because THE ELECTED LEADERS WHO SHOULD BE LEADING THIS RESISTANCE ARE NOT DOING THEIR FUCKING PART!
So we are fucking shit up! BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IT, AND WE ARE THAT SOMEBODY!!
AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE THIS MOMENTUM! On April 19th, let's HIT THAT 3.5% OF THE US POPULATION PARTICIPATING!!
I'm going to admit that when 3.5% participation was first being talked about, I doubted our ability. And I absolutely apologize for that - even though I never voiced that doubt. I had it. And I shouldn't have. Because my doubt slowed the energy of those sharing it by not amplifying it and encouraging it.
We need to dream those things that seem impossible. We need to set goals we don't think we can achieve. We need to do things we've never done before, and that break us away from our comfort zones. And we can do it with each other, united together.
Uncomfortably Alive.
Finding our voices! And echoing the voices of others!
TOGETHER WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY MAKE AMERICA GREAT!!!
WE ARE 50501!! WE ARE THE 3.5%!!!
LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!
TL:DR - We are making a difference and we are going to ACTUALLY MAKE AMERICA GREAT together!
