“Dear JB & Marion,

What an amazing evening! We are very much looking forward to this video after you have done your artful editing JB… thank you both for all your hard work to bring about this moment of ‘we’ community in the midst of so much ‘them and us’ …  so powerful! And much appreciation to all the speakers and to all who attended.”
