Hey all,

I thought it was about time to send an update and some positive energy out into the cosmos and the community. It’s been a rough couple months for a lot of us, including me, and with the election tomorrow and everyone on edge about that, I thought it was extra important to send out a note of encouragement and an update on how things are going at PSP headquarters.

As the pandemic trudges on, I have to find more and more creative ways to stay motivated and energized.

Let me say that you are all my heroes. Working from home, handling remote and hybrid learning, having babies during a pandemic, pivoting on short notice, getting kids to wear masks, figuring out life in a time of such great uncertainty—you’re juggling so much.

That unprecedented level of enthusiasm could translate into record-high turnout in November, but achieving that will be a collective effort on a massive scale. Come on, PSP—let’s make it happen!
