Today is obviously a heartwrenching day for the American community. Today is the anniversery of so many lost lives. So much violence and pain. But today can also be remembered as a day of love. Because every single person who lost their lives were loved so, so much, and they loved so, so much. And the international community, from Iraq to France to Brazil, mourned with us then, as they do now. Around the world, people are loving every single day. This is a day not for remembering violence, but honoring resilience, sacrifice, and love.
And we, as a community, shall forge ahead. We are rebuilding all of America, just as we rebuild New York. But I challenge us to build a community that fosters love, humanity, and kindness. For violence only begets more violence.

I also wanted to announce today very cool news from the office (a kitchen table counts as an office, right?) of One Step. I am pleased to announce that I now have an Assistant Director of Social Media and Reporting, Casey! Casey will be working as a part-time reporter covering events and conducting interviews, as well as assisting with promoting and updating all of our social media outlets. Her dedication to both the fields of journalism and social justice is why she was handpicked for the position, and I am so excited to have her on board. Wish her luck!
