For a long time, I had a feeling that my best-fit role was supporting meaningful projects that made a difference. Since the election, I have been stepping up to help lead meaningful projects.
I have organized a group of black women focused on social justice, especially in the field of education, and we meet to support each other in our social justice endeavors. I like to call the group Sisters in the Struggle.
I organized a community forum for Inauguration week to discuss peace and justice. We defined the terms for ourselves and then considered how to cultivate them in our community.
I helped take a lead in getting my Meeting to approve a Minute designating us as a sanctuary congregation and in getting the school board I am on to craft and approve a Minute reaffirming our values in these politically charged times.
There is so much more to do, but it's good to remember how capable we are all to act.
