15.01.2022 "...in these crazy times that we're in with the coronavirus, LET'S TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER." "Let's not go to the lowest common denominator and ge...t paranoid. Let's do our due diligence, take the precautions we need to take care of ourselves and those of us around us." "...More than ever before, we're ALL MORE DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER than we ever have been. We have an enemy in coronavirus that is faceless, that is raceless, sexless, non-denominational and bipartisan, and it's an enemy that we all agree we want to beat. We want to beat and we're going to beat." "...THERE IS A GREEN LIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS RED LIGHT...that green light is going to be BUILT UPON THE VALUES WE ENACT NOW...FAIRNESS, KINDNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESILIENCE, RESPECT, COURAGE." "If we practice those things right now, when we get out of this, this virus, this time might be the one time that brings us all together and unifies us like we have not been in a long time" - Matthew McConoughey's inspirational message, shared on his social media sites.
