Wow! So much there—especially about our former colleagues. My husband and I constantly lament the inability for so many to see nuance. It is quicker and easier to just spit out a reaction and take a side and write off others. Coupled with the speed of social media…so problematic. I still support global, federal, state change…but since 2018 have really focused on local action to, as you say, dedicate to the world I want to build. Let’s roll….
Thanks, Gwen. I really appreciate it. Yeah, that happened. Not just once either. And I saw it happen to others too at Amnesty. We've just entered this place of seeing everything between our side and the enemy, and I fear that our beloved human rights world has been captured by that orientation. Thanks for reading and thoughts - hope all's well with you. - JF
