Today broke grey and raw for New Democrats here in BC: last night was a body blow. This morning I’m sending solidarity and care to all the progressive organizers - within and beyond electoral politics - who have worked tirelessly over so many years in this province. It is thanks to your unending effort that we have won and defended all our social gains: queer and disability rights, Indigenous rights, childcare and public health, working conditions and unionization, universal public services and more. None of these victories came without struggle. And that struggle must continue now, to protect them in every way we can. But not today. Today is a day to feel all the feelings, find comfort and get some rest. Tomorrow we rise to fight again.
