If you don't resonate with spirituality, take time for what does inspire you and feed you, whether it's the forests, music, or the company of friends. You now know more about the underlying workings of the system we are fighting. You've had a small taste of the violence and repression experienced every day by the poor, by people of color, by those who end up in jail without the support of an action and a media team. You will never be the same person you were before this action. I'm deeply, deeply proud to have been part of this action, and to be in a movement that contains such brave, committed and caring people.
Rage can be an energizing force.
So can love. As hard as a jail experience can be, it can also be empowering. We can come out of it stronger than we went in. What we've learned from this action can move us into the next phase as we build the movement that will transform the world.
