One of the great challenges we face in bringing about political change is figuring out out how not to get overwhelmed by all the negativity we see in the news and our social media. As awful and terrifying as Trump and the Republicans are right now it’s easy for people to just tune out at a time when everyone needs to be paying close attention.As we’ve seen in the past, focusing on assets is the most powerful way to fight bigotry and intolerance. And now our friend, the insanely talented Meredith Kachel is raising money this year for charities that fight for human rights.
