DO NOT LOSE HEART

​

This message is to every person who feels weary, unseen, forgotten, or broken.

We are living in a time that is exhausting to many of us. Today’s events exhaust us emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and economically.

Families are struggling with high gas prices, high food prices, soaring rents, and utility bills.

Our young people are wrestling with identity, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness, and social media influences.

Many of our Communities are weary from violence, division, injustice, and uncertainty. Grocery stores, department stores, and other retail businesses are abandoning our neighborhoods.

Internationally, we see nations, including our own, wrestling with wars, instability, inequality, and the erosion of human dignity.

No thanks to this current Supreme Court of the United States, we have to fight an old battle again to regain and keep our voting rights.

That is why voting matters beyond any single candidate, party, or election. Voting is how citizens take responsibility for the country they have inherited. It is how frustration becomes direction, how concern becomes action, and how remembrance becomes something more than memory.

 

Voting requires participation!

 

Your voice matters. Your purpose matters. Your vote matters.

DO NOT LOSE HEART!
