Dear Gentle Reader,
Today, January 19, 2017 at 5:30pm in each time zone, theaters across the nation are standing up to announce that through the dark days that may be ahead of us, we will be there, standing tall for inclusion of all people regardless of where they are from, who they believe in, who they love and how they got here. We will fight to tell the stories of the people that reflect our humanity (or lack thereof in some cases.) We will fight off the bullies and create safe spaces for everyone to come to and be a part of something constructive and creative. In doing so, in my little opinion, this practice will spill outside of the walls of the theaters and into the streets and into the lives and consciousness of others who will continue to grow and shine that light.
Please go to the website The Ghostlight Project and check it out and join your community at one of the many theaters taking part of this project. As I mentioned before all are welcome, and if you happen to be a part of another movement, that’s fantastic! Bring those friends. Can you imagine what could happen if The Ghostlight Project and the Black Lives Matter Movement worked on something together?
Join us. You don’t need anything but a light and your cell phone light will work perfectly. Personally, I am really excited because this is the first time I don’t have to work when a rally I wanted to attend was happening. You can bet there will be pictures, dear reader!
Will you be there? And don’t forget to share your experience. Use the hashtags, #AllAreWelcom #BeALight and #GhostlightProject.
Shine on, my friends. Shine on!
The Actorvist
