“Grace taught us that revolution is not merely about tearing down unjust systems but about rebuilding our relationships with one another. It is about growing our souls and learning how to govern ourselves with care, creativity, and accountability. She challenged all of us to imagine a new way of living that prioritizes people over profit and community over consumption.”
