Mira and I pick up from where we left off in part one, after a break for a coffee refresh and to stretch our legs. Remember to look after yourself and take the time you need to be productive and effective activists.
Mira shares some more of her personal story with chronic illness. We talk about military veterans, disability rights and complex medical conditions. Gay rights, advocacy and stepping up to the fight.
Like in part one, where we explored the question of rights and respect, in part two we extend that to the question of empathy. Why, in a society that says it basis itself on moral standards and religious teachings, do we struggle so much to simply empathize with what our fellow neighbors and citizens are going through?
Perhaps if we can tackle that question, we can start to come together at last. But sadly, it doesn't look like it will be as easy as it sounds.
Thank you for joining us for the conversation.
How to reach Mira:
We encourage you to support The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people.
