We’re a month into this new reality and it is time to talk about hope. The importance of hope, the importance of joy. The hope that we can come together and grow our community with joy in the face of these wild new challenges. The time to think about it has passed, now is the time to get it together and join with each other in solidarity. 

Correction: the town hall incident discussed was in Idaho, not Utah.
