Alec, I want to speak to something that I am guessing will be highly unpopular. And I hope you can hear me.
But first I would like to say that you have stepped up so beautifully to do the work you are doing these past three years and I thank you sincerely.

Alec, I want to speak to something that I am guessing will be highly unpopular. And I hope you can hear me.
But first I would like to say that you have stepped up so beautifully to do the work you are doing these past three years and I thank you sincerely.
From the beginning of this insanity there has been a celebrity aspect to some who stand up and speak out. Those who were well known and then vilified for speaking out and put on lists to be watched. We all need to remember that there are many many foot soldiers, people who speak out but are not on podiums or in the public eye. People who have lost businesses, ability to support themselves, who have taken the heat without support.
I am not saying that you are not aware, but there is another piece here that concerns you. Your work stands alone, speaks for itself. You don't need to promote yourself as you so beautifully speak to what is happening.
There is incredible frustration here, for all of us. But when someone who is on the stage has some (very understandable) behavioral trait (and in this I am not speaking of you) that might come off as arrogant or mocking, it does help others who struggle to hear actually hear.
And on a feed like yours (again this is not directed at you) calling people trolls or jumping on them does not help the cause or help people open their minds. It's not behavior that helps push this work
forward. And makes it much easier for those who cannot entertain a shift in perspective, to do so.
I hope you understand my intention.
This is a huge step in the way a species sees the world. A huge important step. It might be too late but it should never be given up.
