Great post, Cindy. In my mind, there's never been a more important time to lobby Congress than right now! I really like "We can increase the number of players by recruiting more advocates from our communities who are not yet in action." That's what I'm trying to do when my own blog. You're an inspiration! Keep doing what you're doing!
I really loved your message, Cindy! It resonated with everything I've been thinking. As someone who has been in the grassroots advocacy space for nearly 15 years, I've been worried about my own cynicism and feelings of hopelessness. But the moral choice of who I want to be, where I want to show up, and how I want to use the energy I have is what gets me through the toughest days. Action matters, no matter what. The alternative of doing nothing is not an option. Thanks again for sharing!

Hope is a choice.
Thank you Cindy for leaning into that choice. You voice is powerful.
