Investing in community is investing in our emotional health
That’s not the society we’ve been building. You can’t “other” whole groups of people and claim to be building community. You can’t post constant hate and outrage online and claim to be connecting.

Our current path will only harm all of us.

Saving a life is not about having a hotline, though they do help. (If you’re struggling, you can find a list of resources here.) It’s not about offering advice like “touch grass” or exercise more.

Too many of us are incapable of creating that community for our friends and family members. If we don’t, who will?
