We hold the future

We hold the future

The March 3rd Primary feels like a world away. Since then, COVID-19 has brought to the limelight the inequities that makes as all less safe and less able to attain well-being. It has reminded us of the need to have a social #SafetyNet4All, address the wealth gaps, and invest in our main streets.

On March 3rd, over 65,000 of you voted for people and planet first. We were bold. We were willing to re-imagine together. And that is exactly what our communities need of us at this time. We need to claim and share our vision, without apology. The power we hold in our hands and heart is waiting for us to use it. Use it.
