Rev Laura Everett @reveverett.com · 3hLook, I believe in changing systems and structures. It’s the only way we ALL get free. And. Those systems and structures will not care for you personally. So create your own peace. Take your own sabbath. They aren’t coming to your funeral. Be well *so that* you can change the system. 130

Reposted by Rev Laura EverettNicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost. 31790614
