Dearest KAIROS powered by ARISE Family, Please read as we share a word from our Rev. Michael Blake. Know we are here for you. ♥️ "Thank you for believing in the greater good of Democracy by exercising your right to vote in a fair election. It is important for all of us to realize that the fight for Democracy goes beyond an election and definitely is not limited to your preferred candidate or results. Democracy is successful when we have a Democracy. Let us learn from the data and not ignore some underlying dynamics. The top issues for voters are: Economy and Democracy. Moreover, the race and gender voting turnouts and ticket splitting across the country must be examined with very clear glasses. Voters chose their pocket book, cost of living and perception of the economy instead of protecting racial and social justice causes. It still validates our theory of the case. You cannot separate race, class and gender from the institution of Democracy. It almost means that we cannot walk away now. The Ancestors are looking at us to stay committed. Justice doesn't emerge victorious from fighting, winning or losing in one day. It is a continual and evolving battle to pursue what is our greater purpose: Democracy. Seek your higher angels right now. Choose to find what is your why. What policy issue drives you the most? Whatever that answer, continue to fight for it. Whoever in your life needs a thriving Democracy (which is everyone by the way), continue to fight for them! Pursue your purpose. Live for your light, instead of living in Darkness. It is our time, even as some in the present moment don't feel that way right now. We continue to address the intersectionality of communications and storytelling with race, class and gender. From national elections to local initiatives, the work continues. The fight for Democracy continues. Remember that it's still your KAIROS."
