CLAP BACK!

There comes a time when time itself is calling for change.                                   

When personal and public violations must be addressed.                                            

When human dignity is defiled; and human rights are denied.                      

When the foundation upon which a great country, even with its flaws is being decimated and dismantled.                                                                                          

There comes a time when conciliations and concessions are out of order.                          

When we stand up in the face of oppressive power and say…Oh No! Hell No!. 

When we call out the hypocrites, the greedy, the grifter, the sex offender the fraud, the liar and the criminal.  

There comes a time when our minds are made up.                                                  

And there is nothing more powerful than people with made up minds.                                                                                                                                                                                        

There comes a time when we remember who we are …the blueprint for humanity’s highest potential.                                                                                                                 

There comes a time when we step into the fullness of all we can be as a people.                                        

There comes a time when we create the world we want and stand up to the autocrats and fascists who would deny our right to live as we choose.                              

There comes a time when we must lead.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

When we act to honor our ancestors and protect our descendants.                                                                                                          

When we leave it all on the field…our freedom is at risk.                                                                                                                      

So, it is now time to…CLAP BACK! Come for us. We deal with you.
