Jessica I have just upgraded to paid. As I have said before I am not American, rather a Brit. living in France, but the work you do is internationally important.. I hope that my contribution does not compromise you in any way or seen as 'foreign' interference.' I'm sure that you know very well the political climate in which you will be operating in the future. Quite frankly I wouldn't put anything past either Musk (wanna be president) or Trump whose failing mental health (plus Narcissism on speed) leaves him wide open to manipulation and/or his unpredictable nature (except at money grabbing).

I wish you well in your work and good health and happiness. You are like a beacon in a very dark place.

Thanks for everything, Jess. While the future is uncertain, I look forward to facing it with my family and others who share my values. NOTHING WORTH ANYTHING COMES AT THE EXPENSE OF SOMEONE ELSE! No matter what transpires over the next four years or beyond, nobody can take our values from us.

I am truly thankful for you, Jessica. You keep my spirits up and keep me in the “ game” with gusto, and for that I’m grateful. Your spirit shines bright and I wish you all good things, mostly good health, love and joy.

Thank you for your five weekly prompts that not only keep me engaged and informed but by doing them, deeply alleviate my anxiety and fear. This community of civic servant leaders will bring about the change we seek, thanks to your leadership! You are the inspiration.

Jess, Thanks to YOU for your boundless energy and for the practical (and easy to follow!) recommendations for political acitivism. As our friend Robert Hubbell suggests, we are resting up for a while, but will be back in force to join the "resistance." With gratitude, Neil
