    Today wasn’t about them. It was about us. It was about speaking out and seeking our fellows, and laying the groundwork for future action.

      I like this perspective. I hadn’t thought of it this way and until I read this, I sort of felt the same was as them. That times have changed. And where the powers-that-be used to take all things into consideration, we no longer have that luxury or right to be heard- or taken seriously.

      Knowing that it’s not expected to move the needle, but to create a collective unification of voices, and to see and be seen….

      …definitely lends to its true purpose.

      Thanks for sharing this perspective.
