How Do We Save America?
We hear this question a lot lately: How do we Save America?
Whispered in grief and shouted in frustration.
From parents afraid for their trans kids, from exhausted teachers, from faith leaders trying to hold shattered communities together.
We hear it from the hearts of people who love this country—not so much for what it has been, but for what it could be.
Saving America is not about taking it back. It’s about bringing it forward. Into love. Into justice. Into healing.
Where do we begin?
