Addressing Fear and Activism

It's okay to feel heartbroken and terrified about the state of the world.

I do that every day.

But being brave is not the absence of fear or despair.

It's about choosing to do it anyway.

Choosing to demand and fight for justice

even when the odds are not in your favor.

And honestly there is no other option.

Are we supposed to give up?

Everything and everyone we love is at stake.

So there is no alternative.

We just have to suck it up and be adult enough to face the truth

and do everything in our power to change it.

But we can only do that together.

So look to the people next to you

and say these are the ones I'm going to fight this fight with.

And unfortunately this is only the beginning.

So yeah, I'm not going to end with a hopeful message because that has to come from you.

So thank you. Enjoy your festival.

Sorry to be the party pooper.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
