Indivisible Chicago hosted a second community gathering because "We Are Worth Fighting For." Today we had over 40 people even though it is a Saturday afternoon on a holiday weekend and really cold. At the beginning of each session we start by asking people how they are coming into this space together. We ask them to hold up a card of a specific color representing their main feeling: fear, anger, confusion or grief. Like last time, the cards were a rainbow of colors representing the full range of emotions. We then asked everyone to chat together and discuss what brings them here and what they would like to leave with – and that is the moment captured here. Some of the things that people are looking for are community, a place to take action, and hope. I can certainly relate to all of those.
