“This election was deeply disappointing, but also deeply educational. I have a job to continue to do as an artist. We have a job to continue to do as a just and democratic society. It is an uphill struggle. But not a struggle we haven’t encountered in years past. I use the term “struggle” purposefully because it doesn’t have to be a “battle,” it doesn’t have to be a fight. We should go forward with love and a mind to educate and convert those wandering the wilderness.” – Mike Wiley, November 11, 2024
