Courage is not static, it is a deliberate choice to take the next action. Challenges will always emerge; whether in our personal lives or across the broader landscape of our world. These moments of adversity are opportunities to lean into community, to recognize the many strengths we each carry, and to amplify our collective power. This year, for the 38th annual All Peoples Celebration, we invite you to Choose Courage; to decide, with intention, to do what is right even when the fear and opposition are loud. Now more than ever, our voices must rise above hesitation. We must claim our dignity and echo the notion that any attack on one, is an attack on us all. At Alliance San Diego we know elevating, claiming, and protecting dignity is an act of unyielding compassion. We also know that choosing to be brave and courageous is a vital step in building community power. One cannot exist without the other. Let us not only choose to resist, but also remain curious, intentional, and courageous as we shape and guide what comes next. Together, let’s choose courage. Purchase your tickets today.
