Yes! Attend your City Council meetings (most of them are still online), get to know your local elected officials, demand more of them. In my city, the work that we've been doing led to being able to schedule one-on-one meetings with city council members to discuss issues so everyone could really be heard. It makes a difference!

An awesome human being, man, husband, and Father. All that on top of the crazy talents he has. God's grace and blessings upon him and his family. 🙏🏽❤️

This is one of Trevor’s best showcasing of true humanity-Legend!

Wow that essay turned out to be 100% true! Young John was ahead of his time

[Ryanjleary]

Great singer, performer & a great guy making a difference in the world. I’d love to see him in concert someday

[miaspolintan]

Awesome interview! Love these guys! Although Jon Legend’s jacket gives the illusion of a floating head....lol!

[deborahblackshear]

Thanks Trevor and John Legend for sharing 🙌 👏 👍

[ThisisMissHope]

It sounds like he is singing while he is talking. Now that's talent!

[brendawinslow]

Trevor, you and John Legend keep doing excellent work in this crazy world we are living into right now.🙏❤

Saw him in concert last night. AMAZING!!!!

[elisabethjones]

Such an great example for many of us, a great light in the darkness. Carrying the torch! With great power comes great responsibility, and he and his team are doing that!

[mlggamer]

So that explains why he shares his personal life online. I'm so sorry to hear they went through a miscarriage. What I will say is he's more of an inspiration to me as a pianist and singer myself and it has me thinking maybe I should consider making my own music. As he did follow my dreams. He's just a genuinely great person as opposed to a certain somebody who I shall not name

[kimberlyowens]

Can we take a MOMENT to APPRECIATE HIS BROWN/ BLACK SUIT JACKET, FASHION OR STATEMENT???

EITHER WAY, PURE GENIUS!!!!

[jayelove]

Who else agrees John Legend is a… well… *Legend?*

truth be told its incredible and admirable that he is using his platform to literally work on the "human level". and its not just for show, its genuine and its very true what he is saying, you have to work with the people, because its the individuals that make up the whole. its nice to have these kind of role models in our society, because it can change so many peoples mindsets and lives for better.

[anndreastembridge]

Love that he named Paul Robeson. He deserves to be known
