One of my favorite books of all time. An inspiring read from start to finish that encourages us to take on the brave and difficult task of trusting one another and choosing peace, kindness, and collaboration within systems that assume we will do the opposite.

A really moving read! It makes me sad to think about how far we have falling, how society has taken away so much of our humanity, but I feel hopeful from the historical examples and inspired by the modern ones of the ways that people have and will continue to love and fight for each other. I want to take this energy and go out into my community! Be a realistic; make the world a better place :) What stops this from being a full 5 star read for me, is only that I would have appreciated more intersectionality in the applications of these ideas and I think that further reading could provide that.
