I write and consume news 18 hours a day. Somedays, I am full of piss, vinegar, fire.

Somedays, I sit at my desk and weep, and weep…and weep.

People celebrating the deaths of children, the destruction of safety nets, gleeful over the opportunity to rip away freedoms and shred our sacred Constitution, while sitting in the highest governing offices of the United States of America.

This isn’t business as usual. This isn’t normal.

Will you continue to hide behind the sanitized safety of professionalism, or will you use your voice and your platform to fight for the lives of those in your communities?

Will you hoard your gifts, or use your hard and soft skills to do the good work of #advocacy for the organizations that need your help, especially in times of funding cuts?

Will you leave a legacy of Good Trouble, or of ROI?
