Or are we the people that take in refugees; providing them housing, community, and kindness?

Or are we the people that mourn with that child’s mother at the senseless loss of life?

Or are we the people that call Congress for gun reform after the latest mass shooting?

Are we the people who ask our leaders do what is best for only me and the people like me?

Or are we the people that demand leaders do what is best for our entire country?

Are we the people that don’t care if some Americans die because of their inability to pay?

Or are we the people who believe all Americans should have access to medical care?

Are we the people that provide opportunity only to those born into the “right” circumstances?

Or are we the people that provide opportunity to all?

Or are we the heroes that fight to defeat those villains?

Who are we? The answer to this question starts with…who are you?
