Our new president is the complete opposite of what we value in our friends.  Our friends are kind; he is mean.  Our friends are elevate women; he grabs and leaves them behind.  Our friends are inclusive; he scrubs diversity out. Our friends are eloquent; his communications are limited to 140 characters. Our friends are compassionate; he is a bigot.  Our friends are generous; he has a business to run.  We will keep that in mind, and value our friendships even more.  Our friends will be there when he is not.  Our friends will march with us and will hold our hands.  BALIF will march with you, and we will be your friends.
