Puerto Rico gave me something I’ll carry for a long time.
It was an honor to represent Minnesota as the first Galaxy Leader Fellow from our state. To sit in community with visionary leaders from across the country reminded me that this moment is bigger than any one organization or any one place.
For the last several months, we’ve been quiet. Not because we’ve stepped away—but because we’ve been building. Building relationships. Building infrastructure. Building a vision that reaches far beyond what we can see in our everyday struggles.
For more than a decade, Until We Are All Free has been rooted in local organizing. Now it’s time to carry that work from local, to regional, to national. Our communities deserve movements that don’t just respond to crisis, but build the future.
I left Puerto Rico with a deeper belief that collective leadership, collective economics, and collective imagination are how we get free.
The work continues. The vision is expanding. And we’re just getting started.
