It’s not enough to stop injustice that’s currently occurring, but it’s also good & necessary.
Gratitude to all the visionaries & makers of a better world, even in small ways. If you are kind or brave today, thank you.

@GuerillaMemoir As always, your perspective is valuable. I appreciate your generosity!
