Amidst descending darkness across Europe and the United States, solidarity -- protest, collective action, mutual aid, and more -- is the source of light & hope.
Whatever form that takes for you, if you find yourself in despair with all that's happening, seek that light.
Others will try to diminish it, or tell you that you're focusing on the wrong thing. That way leads paralyzing self-doubt, infighting, and more despair.
Always seek out the light.
