I love this so much!! So happy they did not cancel your event after all! There is so much unnecessary fear and ignorance in our world and it makes me so sad that we can’t just listen to and love one another.

I feel hopeful that we can learn how to talk with each other rather than shouting at each other. This encounter has affirmed my faith in humanity.

We are strong, we are proud and we have a voice! No one can tell us what to think, hear and let alone read!

I love your passion! Yes, we have options. Fear should never be our motivation when making these kinds of decisions. But the library made things right. I’m so proud to be having an event in their space.

We can defeat the town bullies who want to bring us down. Libraries will always stand for freedom of speech and remain safe havens for the communities they represent. Your story is inspiring. We all need to hear it.

I’m so glad that you and the other adults involved were able to hit the pause button, breathe, and remember that when we act out of love, and not out of fear, ALL of us are kept safe.

I believe more of us hope for connection and mutual understanding than we may realize. That’s where the safety lives.
