Thank you for your words. I gave birth to my second child a week before the election in 2024. I had to shut everything out except my family, it felt like survival. After a few months, I found the best ways I could contribute to the cause was through donations and regular calls to congress, both things that feel manageable in my current phase of life.

Yes, we MUST keep hope alive! That in and of itself is a radical act. 💜
