Hello, my friends,

This month, I’ve been thinking extensively about Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo, and how we can take direct action to help the innocent civilians impacted by these conflicts.

First, before I begin, I want to extend a warm thank you to any and all activists and everyday people who have the bravery to stand up against senseless violence and who have the courage to call for a ceasefire, demand accountability from our lawmakers, and to all who are actively organizing and mobilizing to create a more loving and liberated world.

Today, I will be specifically talking about the DRC, but I would like to emphasize that I stand in solidarity with any oppressed group of people, no matter where they might be in the world, and please, do not stop talking about or posting about the groups and people that you are advocating for. Every post matters and your collective voice has the power to change the world. Please never forget this.
