From Frustration to Action
I never thought I’d witness a day when speaking up at a town hall could get you dragged out in zip ties. But when Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl was violently removed from a public meeting for simply using her voice, it sent a chilling message: Dissent is no longer welcome. It wasn’t just her—it was all of us. Watching the rise of white supremacist marches, town halls being shut down, and voices being censored, I felt something I know many others feel, too—frustration, helplessness, and the weight of wondering: “What can I do?”
For a long time, I believed I was just one person, and that signing petitions or calling representatives was the extent of my power. But then I started talking to friends, colleagues, and professionals—people I admire—who all felt the same way. We wanted to do more, but we didn’t feel empowered to act.
With a background in public relations and communications, I’ve spent my career helping organizations shape narratives and inspire action. I realized I could use those same skills to bring people together, amplify voices, and create a movement for those of us who refuse to stand by. So I founded Guardians United—not as a lone effort, but as a movement for those of us who refuse to stand by in silence.
Together, we can protect rights, defend each other, and ensure no one faces injustice alone..
