Скачать или смотреть Talking to Your Conservative Family

When I was at the protests in DC a sweet girl came up to me and asked how to start talking when you're afraid and I worry I was too harsh. I said something along the lines of "you just have to start".
We are past the point of being complicit in silence- and that doesn't mean that these conversations especially with family aren't hard.

Starting can look like
"If you continue to use racist and dehumanizing language I'm going to leave" and walking out of the room when they continue. There's so much power in a walk out.
Starting can look like
"I believe in loving and supporting people of all faiths, genders, sexuality and races and I'm not going to compromise on this."

Starting can look like
"Didn't Jesus say that loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself were the most important commands? Since when has love been demonizing, name calling and belittling people?"
