I just want to say thank you & I love you to everyone with whom I've fought side by side, in life or online, and particularly over the last four years.

It's been an honor, even at the really hard times. I've learned so much. I'm proud of our work. I am grateful.

Let's do this.
I want to say a particular thanks to those who have challenged me and pushed me to grow, and even gotten angry or trolled me at times.

I mean that.

I am a better person and a better and more effective activist than I was four years ago by a long shot because of you.
I said to our yearlong group today that the end stage of the Heroine's Journey is when we look back and collect our lessons and our stories and return them to the collective, before the journey calls us on again.

My lessons are rich and wide.
I am surrounded by great women and great people.

I am blessed to sit in rooms with some of the best humans on earth (I have to shout out @MsLaToshaBrown who honestly deserved a Nobel for all her work that has gotten us to tomorrow).

I am loved and I love so thoroughly.
I believe in the future that is coming from all this work, among all of us, together.

Tonight, my daughter emerged from the room where she does her schoolwork and said, "mom, I just realized that everyone on earth is related."

"That means we're all one family."
"That means we all belong and we all deserve to be loved."

Here to a future that lives into THAT.

To equity, love, justice and freedom.

It's coming. Together, we bend the arc.

I'm proud to walk with all of you, truly.
