Love your immigrant neighbor as you love yourself. When ICE is running a concentration camp, the town over and murdering people on the street — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Love your indigenous neighbor as you love yourself. When the government is stealing their land again and continuing the genocide — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Love your Black neighbor as you love yourself. When the police force and justice system is built on the same white supremacy that marches through DC with rifles — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Love your queer neighbor as you love yourself. When trans people are being denied lifesaving gender affirming care and queerness is being erased from history — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Love your Palestinian neighbor as you love yourself. When Israel continues to bomb Gaza during a ceasefire, and thousands of children and adults are being murdered by U.S. tax dollars — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Love your poor neighbor as you love yourself. When cuts are made to Medicaid, SNAP, and landlords are ruining the housing market — be a peacemaker to love your neighbor. 

Even as democracy crumbles before us, our creativity is being stolen from us by billionaire-run machines, and we breathe in the consequences of climate change: Love your neighbor.  

Love people; love earth; love creatures; love creation… 

Love your enemies — the oppressed and marginalized people you are told to hate as a distraction from the greater systems of evil.

Love yourself. 

Be a peacemaker as you give your love to the world.
