Towards the end of 2025, I would tell people that surely the coming year would be better than 2025 was — at least nationally. But in fact, things have only gotten worse. Many of us are feeling more helpless and more hopeless than we’ve felt in a long time, maybe even ever. How do we “keep hope alive” during times like this? How do we protect ourselves from despair? Where do we find the courage to keep resisting the atrocities we are witnessing?

Rev. Anne Felton Hines served Emerson UUC for 12 years. Upon retirement in 2014, the congregation voted to grant her Minister Emerita status. Currently Rev. Anne chairs the San Fernando Valley Chapter of the ACLU, participates in actions to protect immigrants and preserve our Democracy, and volunteers weekly as a pianist at Kaiser Medical Center in Woodland Hills.
