Dear, my beautiful brothers and sisters.
When we voted on November 3rd, 2026, we saw the Beloved community in action.
We didn’t care about being @Democrat or @Republican. It was all about loving America.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr talked about the #BelovedCommunity. #MLK #America

In times like ours, so marked by apocalyptic goings-on, it is important that we not succumb to despair, non-action, or action-reaction. We need to go deeper w/in our own souls & w/in the genius of our species to find anew what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called “the #belovedcommunity.” bit.ly/3Ql5rsN
