Dear Sharra, I'm 35,000 feet in the air, looking down. Underneath are states and towns full of Americans going about their business. Are they aware of the change that is coming? Sitting here—in the stratosphere and the clouds—here is what I am thinking about: It's March 2024, the beginning of President Williamson's second term. You are picking up your kids at school or getting ready for yoga class and the conversation turns to you… A friends might ask you—"How did you know last election that Marianne Williamson was the leader that we needed?" In 2019, all I remember was America's strife, and exhaustion, and finger-pointing. So many candidates, jumping in the race out of fear, but lacking a vision for real change. Then.........one voice......quiet at first, then growing, emerged to present this vision. "How did you know so early that she would be the leader we were talking about wanting but couldn't see was right in front of us? How did you know to pick her out amidst all that background noise?" All of you who support Marianne have this in common: You know what others do not yet know. You see what others cannot yet glimpse. It is a profound act of faith to allow the "better angels of our nature," as Abraham Lincoln called it, to guide us to our greatness. While others may doubt, you know that this country is destined for great things. That we are a nation of good. That there is a path to being better. That Marianne can show us the way. We are turning outwards now, applying our principles of self-transformation to politics. As Marianne begins to name that which ills us as a nation, now, we are working to collectively change it. And in 5 years time, folks will ask you, how did you know to do that? To take that courageous step and ask others to follow you too? To stay on the path of what is right and just, even in the face of disbelief, to reach a promise of that which had never been seen? We are a group who seek the truth for the greater good, despite obstacles and naysayers. Thanks to Marianne, even if we are small compared to some campaigns, we are a force for America and we refuse to back down. The abolitionists didn't know an America without slavery was possible. The suffragettes didn't know an America where women could vote was possible. The civil rights marchers didn't know an America without segregation was achievable. Their commitment and faith in the impossible led them to create a new national reality from their unforeseen faith. And when, out of our faith, we have transformed our government and our politics and secured our better future, our nation will applaud our vision with equal fervor as they do those who have transformed our nation before. I admire all of you—trailblazers, healers, visionaries, and dreamers. To stand with you is to see greatness and know that it is near. Donate today.
