Dear Friends,
What a mind-boggling, historic, audacious, powerful moment we just experienced, a moment that has the whole world enthralled. And what a gift to be alive today. And…we all know it is just a first step. We know that unprecedented pressures and challenges still lie ahead. We know the election holds great promise and potential, but no certain guarantees. How our lives will be shaped by this moment, how we participate in what it portends, is up to us.
 
What is it like for you? How does it feel? What does the election represent, what has changed and what hasn’t? What are your highest hopes and strongest fears? Probably most important, what are your priorities in the months ahead, and how might you engage? Join us for this conversation on First Friday this week.  It’s not a time to recruit or proselytize, but to listen, open up, connect, and be in conversation about what lies ahead.
