Insurrection and White Privilege
On a day that should be celebrated thanks to the patriotic efforts of the people of Georgia (electing their first Black and Jewish senators, charting a course correction for our country towards decency and equality), we witnessed domestic terrorism and white privilege unlike anything I have seen.

I learned so much from the post (linked above) by blogger, Christopher Bowers. I hope it gives you a sense of empowerment... and urgency.
