The thread below is what we need to support. We need to amplify it. We need to rally around it.
It is time for each of us to ask ourselves a question: “What are we prepared to do?”
Time is running out. We have to question ourselves today.
I cannot add anything to this except to say that the least we can do is take some time to think through our own stance. To muster up that grain of courage we all have in us and decide on the direction we take.
We can support J.L. and the many others that are finding their courage. Because we can amplify and support their actions.
“The ‘but it won’t make a difference argument’ also comes up. And they’re right. My actions alone won’t make a difference. But it all adds up. One person sitting in the road won’t change anything. But 1000 people might. 10,000 people might. 100,000 people definitely would.”
It sure would be a shame if we were short that 1 person that could have put us over the top. We need you with us. And we all need each other.
Every bit of support makes a huge difference. The media is not covering this - so we have to cover it ourselves. Among and between us. Some of us can stand next to J.L. Some can voice support for J.L. Some can just be there for J.L. It is all support - and it is all needed.
We have set up this substack site to be a gathering place that we can all rally around to be together. We will move forward into supporting and active roles that we decide upon together. And we will bring more with us - and we will keep doing it until we move this in the direction it has to go. Each and every one of us can do that. We are stronger together. We can stand with J.L. and we can stand with each other.
“You can’t wait for the movement to happen first, and then join it. You have to be the movement.”
J.L. is right. Today is the day to look in the mirror and decide on what you see being reflected back at you. It is a personal moment we should each take. We all have to look in our mirror. It’s time.
Our substack is free and simple to subscribe to. J.L. does not have to stand alone. Together we are strong and we can overcome anything. Because we go together.
And share it around. We can amplify ourselves right now! We need us all. Together, we can move this mountain and we can even decide what the other side of it looks like. Because - together - we will shape and design it.
J.L. has already gone. I am going. Are you coming with us?
