My vision for Washtenaw County is the same vision I hold for our world - that we heal and move forward in wholeness, peace, and radical love. I believe this healing must be intergenerational, that we must all learn across age and as we do so we center youthfulness, creativity, and imagination. My vision is made more expansive by the imaginations and leadership of young people, and it combines incredible modern advances with a deep reverence for Indigenous and ancient ways of being and knowing. My vision centers curiosity and learning as we are all always seeking more and bigger and better for ourselves, for each other, for our land and water and non-human family, because we are all connected. My vision is literally a big neighborhood where we all feel safe and cared for, where we are all always our full selves, where we have what we need and we have space and resources to pursue our passions for the benefit of our commons, for the growth of loving community.
