“As easy as one, two, three, the hopes of a generation, crushed in a fist.
Yet, as millions take to their windows and civil servants add their voices of dissent, the creative community, too, are filling digital platforms with the three fingered salute. Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
These are gestures that take us from the one, two, three, to the four, five, six.
A drop in the ocean, but together an ocean of droplets: We stand with you, hands raised, hearts flooded.”
