Keep Going. Together.
"Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.

for no man should take me alive" -Harriet Tubman

Black Lives Matter. All children have feelings that matter. Adults have feelings that matter.
All households need empathy and understanding.
Keep Going. Together.
I hope all of our youth, adults and families can feel the empathy and warmth of our entire community.
If we join together we can accomplish anything.
Keep Going. Together.
Policy impacts lives. Funding impacts lives.
Caring adults and youth impact lives.
Keep Going. Together.
Thank you to everyone helping the world become a better place. For the people and groups who have advocated and provided direct service for one day or decades, with empathy and effort to make the world a better place, even when it was not on the front page, feel proud. We all need each other.
Keep Going. Together.
In hope of an empathetic, fair and just world,
