  • Above a sea of hands holding lit candles in the air, someone holds a sign with a rainbow heart: "One human family"
    What DO we do in the face of evil? Anything. Everything. Pray, protest, bake, hug, grieve, wail, laugh, explain, linger, research, fight, cry. What we absolutely must not do is ignore it.

  • Six steeply-banked rows of red velvet theatre chairs, flanked by similarly steep staircases.
    We are sometimes selfish, sometimes complicit with systems that do harm, sometimes the cause of pain and injustice. Until we can hold compassion for ourselves and others—until we can be forgiving when we fall short—our love is incomplete.
