It has been one long month, and if you feel completely overwhelmed from the deluge of information and troubling news stories coming at a mile a minute, know that you are not alone. It’s more important than ever to remember that we don’t have to isolate ourselves in our pain and our grief. In fact, alone and divided is exactly how the opposition wants us to be. Lean on your communities and take care of one another.
Our strength lies in our collective endurance, resilience and unwavering hope for a better future. It is during times of great uncertainty and chaos when real transformative change is possible – and we’re seeing this start to happen already. The people of Seattle voted overwhelmingly in favor of social housing, beating the corporations who spent hundreds of thousands trying to keep it off the table. Your support alone helped Puget Sound Sage pass its first bill in the state senate, creating more ways to fund equitable development in King County.
We are living in a scary and difficult time, but we’ve also been here before. This is the time to find strength in our collective power. Our team is ready to respond and quickly act upon emerging community needs. However long these next few days, months and years might feel, know that Sage is here as your political home; your space to process, to mourn and to take action.
Catch you at the next rally,
❤️ Sage Team
