“Look around you, there is so much to be grateful for every day.” —Unknown

The world is riddled with chaos and confusion, tragedy and heartbreak, disparity and injustice.

It’s plagued with disease and sickness; death; division and despair.

The world is bursting with life, love, and light; justice seekers and freedom fighters.

It’s filled with joy, triumph, and victory; peace and equality; unity and hope.

And whether we realize it or not, we are culpable; even complicit. We’ve created this dichotomy—the tale of two Americas—two divergent worlds.

When we remain silent…it matters.

When we refuse to act…it matters.

When we divide…it matters.

When we spew hate…it matters.

When we love…it matters.

When we stand for peace…it matters.

When we speak up…it matters.

When we unify…it matters.

What we say matters.

What we choose matters.

What we do matters.

You matter. She matters. He matters. They matter.

We matter.
