this shirt, worn by a man in front of me in our recent march,
had a very simple message that really moved me
—
‘to become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.’
-oscar wilde

That’s a beautiful message, Beth! We need more of these to counter the hateful rhetoric that’s also spreading during these times. Thanks again for marching and rallying!

I think so too, ab. I’m going to try to find one to buy and wear it often. I fell happy to have the opportunity to march with so many like minded souls who refuse to give up. my friend in Spain sent me pics of large group of american ex-pats living there who protested that on the same day as well.
