Your posts always come at the right time. Tonight I'm organizing my synagogue's 3rd annual Repro Shabbat (https://www.jewsforabortionaccess.org/repro-shabbat-2025) and every year I always feel like "I'm just quite literally preaching to the choir" but then I remind myself that if even just one additional person comes away understand the importance of abortion funds (what I focus on), then that is a spark that keeps going. So thank you for the guidance to keep going.
It's so crucial, what you're doing! And also I love knowing that you're doing it, which also matters. It's hard for any of us to put out lifeboats if we don't trust that there aren't any others in the harbor.
Also, for what it's worth, that is a GORGEOUS event website.
I feel the spark, too. I feel the warmth. I've been trying (and failing? Or falling towards some success?) to write an anthem or a protest song that captures this feeling I have in these days... your post is good inspiration for me to go back to it today! Thanks, Garrett!
I obviously don't want to rush your creative process but I am now so preemptively excited for whatever art you create out of this moment, Emily, and can't wait to listen to it and share!
You are so kind, Garrett! Thank you! That means so much to me! And thank you for listening to my music! I originally found you through Lyz Lenz and I'm so happy I did. :) This is a wonderful community that helps keep me hopeful! I'll be sure to share what I come up with!
I have been getting motivated to do something. Today I am attending a local Indivisible meeting. I thought about holding a sign at rush hour, "Elon Musk wants your Social Security $$" or "No Kings in the U.S." but stealth stickies in public bathrooms and other safe places might be safer in my red-turning-purple area.

I hope tonight is incredible!!!
8 new people for my email list where I send out repro-related actions! Huzzah!

I just want to say that I love how the Pittsburgh Graffiti Account continues to spark joy!
One of the most consistent sources of joy in my life, 100%
