Recently, at a Global democracy conference in Bucharest, I had the honor to meet speakers from Tblisi, Georgia and Kyiv, Ukraine. Their commitment and courage in the face of great danger filled me with the inspiration to keep moving forward.

It’s also important to take extra good care of yourself during these times. As people have reminded us “Do your work, then step back” -give yourself a chance to rest, recover, and then do what you can to continue to patiently help people understand what is happening to the societal aspirations toward democracy, justice, and equality.
