In January, a small group of us connected through the diverse networks that make up social media and internet communication—TikTok, Discord, Signal. Brought together by a shared purpose, we simultaneously felt the need to channel our empathy and LOVE for those currently under attack in our country into a movement for meaningful change.
We viewed Trump’s actions as being driven by hate. Although we felt anger ourselves, we chose to be guided by something greater.
How could a scattered mix of strangers on the internet do this? We were a crazy group that could barely get organized—some of us still in high school, others juggling careers or raising families. (I myself am trying to run a business while creating our website.) Ultimately, we focused in on what we wanted to do: spread awareness and get people actively involved in fighting back: challenging traitor Trump and his administration by addressing the very values his base appeared to lack the most.
- Empathy
- Education
- Understanding
- Love
We viewed Trump’s actions as being driven by hate. Although we felt anger ourselves, we chose to be guided by something greater. People often fear what they don’t understand—what makes them uncomfortable and is different from their own experiences and upbringing. This fear of “the other” creates division, then fear, then hate that Trump feeds on.
So by uniting those committed to pushing back against the current administration and and educating others on the marginalized groups currently under fire, we aim to foster change through the power of love and compassion in the United States.
