You don’t understand the powerful energy that happens when people agree on the same thing. It can move mountains. We can send love and healing to our Mother who is bleeding. Won’t you join us in love?

Are they taking money? Supplies? Holding hands is going to do absolutely nothing, more symbolism over substance. the Asheville way.
