a special note from me

Still We Rise family,

Come closer for a moment. I need you to hear this.

I am here. I’m not going anywhere and neither is this community. I know how heavy things feel right now. I know how scary, exhausting, and overwhelming this moment is. And still, you keep showing up. That matters more than I can put into words.

When I started Still We Rise in 2017, I could never have imagined what it would become. This didn’t happen because of algorithms or luck, it happened because of you. Your care. Your courage. Your refusal to look away.

You are the reason I wake up and do this work.

You are the reason I still believe we can get through what’s ahead.

This administration wants us isolated, hopeless, and quiet. Instead, we’ve built community. We’ve built something real. And we will keep building, together.

I love you all. Truly.
We will take care of each other.
We will survive this.
And we will rise, every single time.

Love,

Lindsay
