One woman wrote, "If I watched this every day, I will be a better person."

Hello, my name is Karim and I am an Arab-American. Like many people who are Black, Brown, women, LGBTQIA, Latinx, Muslim, Jewish, immigrants and other, I am very scared. We are anxious and uneasy in our own country and it's difficult to see what lies ahead for us. But I have hope that I am safe with you. Together we can build a community of caring rather than one of fear. You can trust me to care for you no matter who you are, what you look like, or where you are from. Will you embrace me as willingly as I embrace you?

Will you shake my hand and/or hug me and or take a photo of me and post it as a sign that I am safe here with you?

I TRUST YOU

4. Makes me believe

that love, in the end, is ultimately what saves us from ourselves. Those strangers are connecting with that guy because of the primal instinct of empathy of which all psychologically whole and intact human beings possess. Sociopaths like Trump display a frightening deficit in the empathy and love domain.

5. Agreed

We need more activist actions like this one. It is inspiring!
Let this be the leading action....
