Ring out the old; prepare for the new
After a year of extremes in 2024, we have to be ready to fight for community in the years ahead I feel sure we won’t forget the year 2024 any time soon.
Aside from the madness of the election, it’s been a year of extremes. Let’s start with the climate: 2024 is the hottest year on record, with global temperatures exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius — that’s 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit — above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period.
Temperatures are not the only thing heating up. Across the country, LGBTQ rights are under fire. According to the ACLU, there are 574 anti-LGBT bills that have already been introduced into state legislatures.
That’s a lot, but of those, most likely only a handful will see a vote. Still, that doesn’t mean we can afford to sit back and watch.
