Hello all,
Yesterday was a day to celebrate for those of us concerned about promoting tolerance and peace in our great nation. Our nation's first black president was re-elected, ballot measures allowing same-sex marriage were approved in two states, and the latino vote emerged, again, as a key deciding factor in the election. We are an increasingly diverse nation, and rather than turning inward and defensive about that, I believe the forces of light prevailed yesterday.
A round of applause for all those who work hard to promote values of inclusiveness and understanding. The wind is at our backs and today I feel very positive about the direction in which we are heading.
all the best,
Ingrid
My name is Ingrid Atzl Irigoyen. This is a place to share my personal reflections on a range of social justice issues, and echo the positive energy that authors who are experts on these topics put into the world by reposting their writings. It is one very modest contribution I can make to encourage a more just world.
