This happened.
I picked up about 20 signs this morning. Signs that I put up at 1 a.m.
Someone went out in the middle of the night and thought it would be a good idea to tag a BPOC candidate's signs with the word "racist".
I shouldn't feel hurt, but I am.

Many people don't appreciate just how hard this work is. As a BPOC woman, putting my name on the ballot was not an easy decision. I didn't take it lightly. I knew that something like this could happen, but I really didn't expect it, nor did I expect to feel this way if it did.
People don't realize the time and effort and money that goes into running a campaign. The emotional work. The long hours. I'm exhausted at the end of a 16-18 hour day, but I get up the next day and continue the work because I believe so strongly in it.
