Across the country and right here on campus, there are a lot of difficult emotions being felt. Disbelief, anger, sadness, fear.

The path that led us to this point has been circuitous beyond measure. Despite the tumultuous road, we have always been driven by the belief that all persons are created equal and our government and its laws must reflect this. For the past 18 months, we have fought not just for a candidate, but for a vision of what this country could be.

We believe in an America that embraces diversity. We believe that discrimination and inequality of all kinds must be eliminated as a necessary condition of an equitable society. We believe that love trumps hate.

And after last night, we still do.

The 240 year history of our country has seen many dark days but we, as a nation, have overcome these challenges with equal measures of hope and determination. It is very easy to feel profoundly discouraged, but today we can work through our emotions together. Many of us are feeling scared and lost, especially members of our LGBTQA+, minority, and immigrant families. But please remember: You are not alone. There are communities that will embrace you without question or condition. Do not be afraid because you are loved.

But love alone is not enough. It is more important than ever to be involved in our communities. After the fog has lifted, it is vital for the continued existence of our democracy that we get back to work. Our country can only endure when those committed to equality, love, freedom, and empathy stand for their beliefs and fight in the face of adversity. We are facing a nation that is starkly divided and we ask you—please—do not withdraw from the conversation. This is not the time to bury your head in the sand because we need your voice.

During the 2004 DNC, President Obama introduced himself to the world with a message of hope and change. He said, “Hope! Hope in the face of difficulty! Hope in the face of uncertainty! The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.”

The foundation of this nation may be hope but it was built by perseverance and a hell of a lot of effort. President Obama was not calling for hope without action because hope can only work if accompanied by action. The things that were important to us yesterday are still important today.

We have done a remarkable job this election season, on campus and beyond. Together, we can face the challenges ahead and continue to build a better future.
