Resistance is silver in the sun of our actions

 

Love is the cure for hate. Inclusion is the cure for exclusion. Compassion is just a great cure.  I find it is so easy to be a person of courage, speak out when evil people try to take power. every voice no matter how small is powerful in the face of hate

 

 

 

Now is not the time to hide from the news. Now is not the time to withdraw into our own worlds.  Nazis did not  come to power because so many Germans were evil. The Nazis came to power because so many Germans, good people, choose not to speak out to resist, but choose to remain silent.  There are so many progressive groups, progressive organizations and gatherings a simple letter of support is always powerful. Donations no matter how small always helps. Letters to the editor in your local newspaper. There are so many ways to help.  It is silence that is as evil as hate. Nationalism, xenophobia, racism, homophobia, violent misogyny, criminal narcissism and mob mentality thrive when good people are silent. Resistance is the best choice. We cannot escape the freedom to choose. To choose not to choose is to side with evil.
