“I’m going to feel so much better after this gathering,” Cole said. “I don’t have a solution and you may not have a solution. Nor does any single individual. But collectively, we do and that’s why everyone is needed in this venture and others like it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
