What would you like to see people do to change the world?
i’d like people to take responsibility for their power. i’d like people to feel that their voice matters, whether that means taking the time to vote, to sign a petition, to volunteer, to donate to charity or, simply, to talk, to share, to stay informed.

college–when it was ok to not KNOW anything, when the world was gentle and contained and there was a party every weekend.
