Whenever upsetting events occur, I revise my roadmap to tomorrow. To look ahead moves past the discouragement, disappointment, and pain of cruel, unjust, harmful acts to a better tomorrow. Angry that 43 United States Senators voted to acquit Donald Trump, a man who incited an insurrection as President of the United States, I recognize the injustice has occurred and it is time to move forward.
Moving forward, here's my roadmap:
- Encourage congressional leaders, President Biden, and Vice President Harris to convene a commission to study all aspects of the insurrection and hold those culpable responsible.
- Encourage congressional leaders to support a full investigation of the insurrection by law enforcement agencies, and give them the financial support to make sure all those who took part in the insurrection in any way are prosecuted, fined, and receive just jail time and other rightful consequences.
- Continue to build up my knowledge, advocacy, and ability to work for greater justice in ways that I can.
- Continue to do all I can to support those I love, contribute to strong family/community life, and live a good life.
Discouragement, disappointment, and injustice call us to act, what does your roadmap look like going forward. What will you do?
