It is not easy to stand up for what's right when there's so many people trying to tear you down. Lies, ridiculous rumors, personal and professional attacks are just some of the things we go through. But at the end of the day, I know that people have gone through much worse, like the injuries to the Water Protectors, the violence on the Sit Downers, and those who have given their lives for what's right. So when we face pushback from these bottom-feeders, we just fight harder and stand stronger.
