Message to America

We must remember as progressives, that when waves of positive change sweep through our society and affect core issues such as racism, homophobia, reproductive and sexual freedoms… that such great change will cause great fear in those who cannot embrace it. And the bigger the change, the bigger the fear. It’s mathematical, really. Which is to say: we MUST be going through a tremendous amount of change right now because there is a tremendous uprising of fear, close-mindedness and violence coming out to greet it.



We would be wise to remember that fear is an indication of how much change is happening. The only question now is: will the cultural revolution underway continue peacefully or violently? It’s not pleasant to consider and it’s not fair, but those who cannot embrace change will use any means necessary - including violence - to not be left behind.
