Thank you for sharing these notes. A friend sent me this when I heard about the fatal ICE shooting in Minnesota today and this filled my heart and soul with inspiration.

Thank you for sharing that Maya. It’s so painful right now AND we have love on our side. Empire is always going to lash out as our power grows. We will not be deterred. We are focused, loving and organized. Hate can ultimately never step to that!
