“We SEE you. We HEAR you. You are doing the hardest work and are inspiring all of us to keep going and protect our neighbors and fight as hard as possible for our democracy. You are so brave, caring, loving, and strong. The world is watching you stand up to these bully fascist thugs with everything you’ve got. And you’re so damn creative, too. It’s a beautiful thing to see. We are showing up here, too. We’ve had almost daily protests. New people show up regularly. We are learning from you, and Chicago, and Portland, and DC. Your wisdom and fortitude are just growing by leaps and bounds every day spreading out across the country. And we understand that you are working so hard to hold the line…to show them that Americans will not bow down and break. We’ll just keep showing up in greater numbers and getting stronger. Take time to breath, rest, connect, get some good hugs, warm up, nourish your souls and bodies, And know we are with you in whatever ways we can be. Hugs from Texas.”
