Since I don't do as much public speaking as I used to, this site is my avenue for public expression. It is also now my way of showing resistance. Big crowds make me anxious (unless I am upfront speaking), so marching or protesting doesn't work for me. I am researching ways to help, but until I find a more "active" approach, I will use this "passive" platform to speak up and fight.
