It’s November, the month of giving thanks. I must say that even though we have much to be thankful for, it becomes hard to feel that way when we live during a time in the world when there is much to feel bad, sad, or angry about. Every day, we hear another story about people treating each other poorly; about another example of a huge injustice, of debilitating inequity. We hear about wars being waged, and we hear too many examples of how our so-called leaders let us down through their selfish or self-promoting behavior. We are still weary of COVID-19 and worry that it might happen again. Our communities and the world are getting more complex, volatile, and unpredictable.

Jessica Cook, Central Maryland Representative for Senator Ben Cardin's office, took the time to visit the Aspire office in Bel Air, Maryland.
