All across our country, there are good people who every day step up, step forward, and step into the breach to help others.
Our algorithms too often amplify outrage and division. Our media too often elevates the cruel, the demeaning, and the degrading.
But the truth is, our nation is filled with humble heroes. Everyday people who see someone in need and act. Who don’t hesitate to help. Who don’t ask what religion someone practices, what race they are, or what political party they belong to.
They act because they recognize our common humanity, because they see the dignity and worth in others, because kindness and decency are stronger than the divisions that too often dominate our attention.
This woman and the nurses she rallied remind us that heroes are all around us. And that when we come together, we can literally save lives.
May we see more of this.
May we be more of this.
