	In the last few years, our work has gotten significantly more difficult because of recent socio-political changes. More than ever, it is incredibly important that we stand side-by-side and provide each other with the support and warmth we need to move forward. Our adversaries are large and well funded. However, our network can be even stronger and resilient if we take the time to build bridges with each other. While at our events, we ask you that you practice solidarity. Assume good faith, and remember that everyone is trying their best. We need each other to move forward.
