You’ve seen the news. You know why I’m calling. Some of you know this feeling you have in the pit of your stomach. It’s one you got familiar with almost a decade ago. It’s the feeling that pushed you into the streets and then into the fray. It’s the feeling that caused us to shed blood and lose people we love. It’s a feeling we’re afraid of. We have good reason to be afraid. So much was broken last time. Relationships, our hearts, our spirits. It’s a wound that can only be covered, never healed and always raw. But we can’t live in fear. We are going to have to bear these wounds if we want a better world. I wish there was a better way, and maybe at some point there was, but the UPRC has moved past that. It is our mission, our duty to put ourselves between the UPRC and all those people who will be hurt by this. It’s gonna hurt, but when, not if, when we come out the other side of this with a better world we can look at the wounds we bear with pride because we earned them doing the right thing.
