”I know that it feels like everything is happening all at once, and some of us are exhausted, while also feeling like nothing we do is enough. And that’s because, it isn”t. And if you are responsible for fixing this mess, all on your own, the fact that what you're doing is’t enough, would be catastrophic. But liberation and collective survival and transformation are the work of movements. So take a breath, and know that If you are doing what you can, where you are, your work matters. Do your part and invite others to do it with you. And if your lane isn’t right for someone, help them find theirs. We need a whole lot of people who aren’t currently in the struggle, to experience fellowship and to build the confidence they need to believe that in pooling our capacities we can make a difference. Welcoming people to that journey, again and again, is what is going to make all of our respective efforts add up to something transformative. That is how we get to enough.” Kelly Hayes
