Check In 21 June

It's been a difficult couple of weeks, but there have been some surprisingly good wins at the Supreme Court on LGBT rights, DACA and gun laws.

I hope you are all staying safe and managing your mental health. If you go out to protest, please wear a mask and good shoes, and take care where you can. Afterwards, if you'd like to share your experience here, please do.
