It's Time

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 

It's been 244 years since this statement was published with unanimous consent in the Declaration Of Independence by the founders of our country. How much longer do we need to make this a reality for all?

A sure sign of a cycle of "mental illness" is when a people with a history of abuse then turn around and abuse other people. It's past time that we reckon with our history, our own personal experiences and the realities of our country and communities. Stop making excuses for the unacceptable. 

The time is now. The inflection point of this era is now. A pandemic, police brutality, racial inequality, social justice and human rights issues have brought us to our knees. We must rise in solidarity to a new normal that truly embraces equality and economic opportunities for all. It's past time. Let's go already!
