The world is heavy right now, full of genocide, assaults on democracy and humanity across the globe. My job is to bring peace and beauty to people’s lives. It seems trivial when folks are getting gunned down and murdered on our streets, captured and taken to concentration camps or deported from America. Most everyone who knows me is aware I spent the earlier part of my career in public policy. Politics used to bring me such joy and happiness, and a paycheck before I shifted to landscape design. Election days were my Super Bowl. I went to graduate school in the Twin Cities, and some of my oldest dearest, friends are under siege right now, something imagine unimaginable to most Minnesotans and heartbreaking to see from afar.
it’s way past time for everyone to get involved in helping our friends and neighbors. There’s a lane for everyone, no matter your skill set or capacity. If you need help finding resources, no matter where you live, please ask me and I’ll get you there. March in protests, give money to local mutual aid groups, be that pesky person calling your elected officials on speed dial, adopt a corner and help folks that are truly afraid for their lives right now. There’s so many ways to step up, but we won’t be able to preserve any semblance of democracy left if people standby and wait for someone else to take action. It’s up to all of us, I hope you join me in fighting the good fight.
