I miss the people who died bc of structural & policy failures. Because of racism, ableism, intersectional oppression. I miss their potential, their love for their loved ones, the dreams they wanted to achieve. I know many are celebrating 2020's end. I just miss everyone we lost. Sorry for a dark thought! It's just one I'm sitting with tonight and tomorrow and as much as possible for always - to have it ground the hopes I have for a future where we stop losing so many.

I'm not much for a personal year in review so instead, to celebrate New Year's Eve, here's a thread of people whose work and presence meant something to me this year (plus if you -still have donation dollars, some ideas!):  

1/??? (here's a cat to keep your attention) 2/ @WFPPups: @SaulFKahn & @raphyjacobson are both dear to me but also encouraged my addiction to enter button fury via textbanking to #VoteWFP. Love @nywfp @workingfamilies for investing in youth leaders & WFP Pups texting parties were among the bright spots of the 2020 election.
