As I considered my goals for the upcoming year, I realized they shouldn’t only be about myself. Given the hardship so many have faced this year and the current political landscape, it seems not just prudent but necessary to think of us as a whole. This has proven to be a frustrating year politically, no matter what “side” you’re on. It’s important for us to remember it is our responsibility as citizens to demand representation in our government. Whether it’s writing our representative, staying more informed, or donating our time, if we each resolve to be more active citizens in 2021 we can create a better community as a country.
