do to put us in touch with what is going on in worlds we are so removed from, sacrifices we otherwise would not know have existed. You put these protests in such a vivid perspective for me.

I am amazed at these young people who as you say won’t themselves be rewarded, yet risk their lives in honor of past sacrifices, in hope of other people’s futures, against a terrible force, against all odds.

I am going to start reading the material in the links.

I am so moved...

Troubled and moved.

Thank you Judi.
