More than showing up: These warriors don’t leave until every person has a safe place to go

“These are human beings – plain and simple – and not winning the birth lottery does not make them lesser than us. We very well could’ve been where they were. We won the birth lottery. That doesn’t make us better. We’ve created the issues. We’ve caused climate change, used up resources, dropped bombs, destabilized governments…
