Loyal allyship,

through thick, thin. Skin in the game.

Solidarity.

...

Together we try,

side by side and step by step.

We will forge forward.

We should all have “thirsty boots”; if you don’t know the song from the civil rights movement, look it up. YouTube has my favorite version by John Gorka. 🥾🥾🥾

Oh, I will definitely have a listen. I don’t know the song, nor Gorka

What an incredible call to action, Andy!

"Now is not the time

for timid steps, now is the time

for together steps"

I love this idea of "together steps." How beautifully you have imagined the work of collectively caring for each other and our shared present & future.

And then this line felt deeply resonant: "we will print/our prayers on this land." Wow! This is so powerful.

Thank you for this, Jenna! yes, together steps, wouldn’t the world be a more beautiful place if we took more of those?

Thank you for your presence here, you are a really encouragement!
