Unscramble the Blue Letters


And so, we all have to really grapple with our own onshriwep about the systems that have been created and not be complicit anymore. And that may mean that you write a check, and that may mean that you do the work day in and day out. That may mean that you work in a policy organization, but you don't want to do the on-the-ground day in and day out work. There are lots of ways for people to ctbntuoire. I don't think everybody is bilut to do the day in and day out work. I totally get that and appreciate that. But everybody can support change in their own way.

And what you saw almost then gave you no cihoce. Your blood started to boil. You were in it, you were going to fight for it, and you didn't need extra motivation, is what I'm hearing.

Original Text


And so, we all have to really grapple with our own ownership about the systems that have been created and not be complicit anymore. And that may mean that you write a check, and that may mean that you do the work day in and day out. That may mean that you work in a policy organization, but you don't want to do the on-the-ground day in and day out work. There are lots of ways for people to contribute. I don't think everybody is built to do the day in and day out work. I totally get that and appreciate that. But everybody can support change in their own way.

CA: Bryan Stevenson talks a lot about immersion as a first step, and it sounds like you would resonate with that. I mean, you went to visit people in jails. You were there. You were with them. And what you saw almost then gave you no choice. Your blood started to boil. You were in it, you were going to fight for it, and you didn't need extra motivation, is what I'm hearing.
