How to Support José Andrés' World Central Kitchen for Disaster Relief
Last fall I had a chance to meet "THE MAN" who spearheads World Central Kitchen for victims of disaster when and where ever they are in need ~ José Andrés! So pleased to shake his hand and to thank this gentleman for all that he has done. A true inspiration.

“The torch has been passed to us!” ~ Heather Cox Richardson
“When President Joe Biden announced just a week ago that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president, he did not pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.
He passed it to us.
It is up to us to decide whether we want a country based on fear or on facts, on reaction or on reality, on hatred or on hope. It is up to us whether it will be fascism or democracy that, in the end, moves swiftly, and up to us whether we will choose to follow in the footsteps of those Americans who came before us in our noblest moments and launch a brand new era in American history.” ~ from Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American, July 28, 2024

Archive : Women’s March 2017 and 2019 : “positive, energetic displays of democracy in all its glory!”
The size of the crowd the night before the 2019 Women's March in DC was unpredictable. Within a couple of hours on the morning of the 19th, crowds were emerging onto the Freedom Plaza from all directions. An exuberant diverse crowd of individuals who spoke their own truths with great passion and energy. Not everyone agreed with each other's positions, but nevertheless found a way to embrace their differences and speak to them without hostility or malice. Like the first Women's March on January 2017, it was a positive, energetic display of democracy in all its glory!
