Jays are wild and noisy birds. You know when they’re in the neighborhood. When something’s wrong, you really know. They shriek and holler and dart by in beautiful blue.

Right now, in all our neighborhoods, I think there are many things going wrong. Democracy is under attack. if we don’t step up, who will?

I think it’s time to make some noise. It’s time to show our Beauty.

I’m actually a very Peaceable demonstrator (although I do love me some loud and rhythmic chant.) But my democracy is important to me, and I’m not going to see it waltz off without any resistance, without any persistence.

Welcome backs sisters to the Persisterhood!

Let us be like the Jays. Let us be bold. Let us be noisy. Let us be beautiful! Let us be like the Jays for Peace.
