Founder/CEO of the Outrage, a community space and shop for progressive activists
Amid all the political turmoil, plus the stress of being a small-business owner right now, what have you found to be grateful for?
Our community. We’ve had members reach out and say, “How can I donate to the Outrage to make sure you’re here post-pandemic?” It’s so hard seeing all of these businesses fail on 14th Street, which is where we are. I know what it is to build something. I’m so grateful for the community that has rallied behind us to keep us afloat.
