My knee was pretty bloodied, so I sat on a large rock as my husband cleaned my wound and bandaged me up. While this was happening, a group of three people in their 20s asked if I was okay and if they could do anything for me. They didn\u2019t have anything with them (not even water!) and I thought, even though they couldn\u2019t do anything, it made me feel good that they cared\u2014they showed empathy. There are going to be times when we can\u2019t actively do something, but making sure others are seen and are sensitive to what they are going through goes a long way.<\/p><p>If you support F.E.P., you know that we feel so many issues revolving around the cruelty and injustices in our food system are connected. But I believe that they are connected beyond the food system as the strains of these injustices all come from the same place. That is why I am still hopeful that those of us who understand this can continue to build strong alliances together as we are the ones who should be creating the narrative on what our society should look like.<\/p><p>So if you are like me and initially felt enveloped by a dark cloud last November, it is time we stand strong\u2014we don\u2019t need to know if that cloud is going to bring rain or pass with the wind. We will be prepared. In one of MLK Jr.\u2019s last speeches, he mentioned he has seen the mountaintop and how he isn\u2019t sure if he will get there with us\u2014many of us might not be\u2014but we need to keep fighting, as everyone deserves to live in a place free of oppression, exploitation, othering of every kind of hate.<\/p><p>And even if we stumble, we should know there will be others there who see us and will continue the journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we enter 2025, I look ahead and realize that, as with every year, there are a lot of unknowns; but this year, I know there is a lot of darkness and fear.
