📣 Hate is not criticism - it's just hate!

Although you can disagree with or not understand someone, respect and kindness go a long way - and coming together means more now than ever.

We are living in confusing, tense and divisive times.

📢 It's important to remember that the actions of one person do NOT represent the actions or views of the community they claim to be from or represent.

One person's actions don't define a whole group. Let's keep coming together and not giving into hate - because hate isn't criticism, it's just hate.
