The other ‘Woke’

Great observation, Cory. Let’s hope Mr. Wiesner follows his interpretation of “woke” else it’s just another attempted distraction from the truth.

Excellent letter that makes a very good point.

My woke eyes are wide open. The people with whom I work and whom I support do not attack others (unless you believe disagreeing, even vehemently is 'attacking'), suppress free speech (unless you mean that calling people on hateful or deceitful rhetoric is suppressing free speech), commit political violence (we're absolutely committed to nonviolence), and destroying people’s lives (we don't have the power or desire to do that to anyone). We're working for a more peaceful, sustainable, and equitable world. We're your sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, grandparents, barbers, lawyers, doctors, fast food workers, we're just people like any others, like you, who perhaps see things very differently or believe the solutions to certain problems are different.
