What inspires you to do the work that you do every day?
“I’m inspired and made hopeful by movement histories and all the places I see people connecting and organizing today — in the classroom, churches, workers’ centers, film screenings, art exhibits, the streets, at doors...no matter where and how people show up, I get inspired by the collective vision and want to find more ways to make it a reality.”
