As we’ve said a lot since November, it’s more important than ever in these times to come together and connect, so we hope you’re taking the opportunity to do just that.

So whether you’re doing Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or taking advantage of one of the few shared civic holidays on the calendar, however you’re gathering with your friends and families and communities, whether you’re celebrating, relaxing, or out volunteering, or doing whatever it is that you love to do together, or even if you’re spending some solid me time (we don’t judge!), and even if the holidays are a tough time for you (we know they can be!) — we’d love it if you checked in and let us know how you and yours are doing.

This is your space, so if you need a break, why not take some time and check in with your community here at The Ink? Let us know what’s on your mind, about your hopes for the season, or just tell us all something good.

And always remember…it’s the billionaires who are making war on Christmas, not the people!

We hope The Ink will be essential to the thinking and reimagining and reckoning and doing that all lie ahead. We want to thank you for being a part of what we are and what we do, and we promise you that this community is going to find every way possible to be there for you in the times that lie ahead and be there for this country and for what it can be still.
