I’m up in Canada so we are all just on edge watching to see what will happen tomorrow for mass protesting.
Whatever happens, everyone stay safe, protect and guard yourself from danger and keep aware of your surroundings. Stay with a small group of allies and keep yourselves safe.
If you are not prepared and don’t know what you are doing … stay back and don’t become front line fodder.
If you are prepared and equipped, stay safe, protect yourself, run and hide if you must. I’d rather see you running than to be put in danger.
Whatever you do tomorrow to take part, we’re all cheering for our American brothers and sisters standing for democratic rights and fighting against fascism.
Trek fans have always understood the messaging and metaphors that the writers shared. Generally the idea that the world might have to protest in order to instigate change.
I hope with all my heart that change can happen without violence but when it comes to these very public and very big events … no one knows how they will turn out.
So it’s my wish that these events stay a peaceful protest and not a violent riot.
Star Trek showed us a future where terrible violence happens before peace can be achieved.
There is hope and a chance in this reality that we can all still achieve that peaceful future without having to go through any more death and destruction.
