“I fully believe that Solidarity is like Block Chain. A collective, powerfully connected, yet decentralized energy force that will serve us well in breaking through to new heights of what we can, do, and will expect from humanity and society. We will rise until the violence stops; I will rise until we get out of the collective rut of believing that violence will ever be the answer. I rise in solidarity with OBR because, when we are connected, we are a high-vibrating, powerful circuitry. I believe that, together, we can light up the dark corners in each of us, light up our communities and subsequently, the world.” – Marya Meyer
