All Lives are Precious

As part of the multi-ethnic and intersectionality conference, we walked the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. Back in the 80’s, this neighborhood was sixth in the nation for drug violence and death. The community and gangs came together to build this small rock monument and placed the plaque that says, “All Lives are Precious.” A reminder that no matter the chosen path of life every life matters. Oh if we would just embrace and live that way. I am thankful for the 100 who gathered to work together for 3 days as we equipped each other for the work towards a better world.
