What do we want for our country? 
Shalom

A country full of health, free from viruses

We want to be able to cope with destiny

We want a country that is safe for all people

We want a country without bullying

A country without gun violence

 

We want to see peace and empathy

A country where everyone is free to love whomever they choose

We want everyone to be kind to everyone

 

We want a country that is safe from leaders pulling us in opposite directions
We want equality for all people
We want leaders that inspire us
We believe that Black lives matter
We believe that families should be able to stay together
We believe in welcoming the huddled masses yearning to breathe free
Shamati

We believe in a country where we all help each other

We believe in a country where the old learn from the young and the young learn from the old

 

Where there is equal opportunities for ALL

A country where we share what we have with those who have less

Where everyone has a home and a place that makes them feel safe

 

A country with clean air and water

And a sustainable future

 

We are thankful for science and people who create those gifts

We are thankful for creativity and the people who create

We are thankful for family

We are thankful for both the ability to meet in person and virtually

 

Be the change you wish to see. Take action. Speak up. VOTE

We are thankful. We believe.
