Overwhelmed, both with the immense support from Traverse City community (and Whoopi Goldberg!) and also by all the work still ahead.
Keep showing up with radical love in the face of bigotry. When love wins we all do!

Hate has no home here in TC!
Tonight we stood along 8th street to remind Traverse City of how much LOVE is here. The LGBTQ+ community responds to hate with love for those who are lacking, for those who are scared, for those who simply have none to give.
We also respond with a loud cheer that our humanity matters and so does yours (and witty signs)!

WOW! Major thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors who made the Recycle-A-Bicycle's Bike Swap a major success!
Maxbauers Meat Market and Pangea's Pizza donated some delicious food to keep our volunteers pedaling at full strength all day Saturday and Sunday. Norte pitched in with all the bike racks and LilJes Photography and John Robert Williams Photography snapped some great photos to tell the story

Something extra sweet about watching these two celebrate love today.
Jessica and Christian threw a dope ass party tonight. We laughed and cried and danced our asses off. And I can’t wait to share more.
