This article could be a conversation starter between you and well-chosen colleagues. Having and sharing an idea or an article is a way of opening an intellectual door. “Look what I just read...it shocked me. I’m not sure what to make of it...how does it strike you?” You might be surprised to discover how many like-minded colleagues you have. You’re not calling for an insurrection. When we’re afraid to talk about things, particularly things that directly affect our livelihoods and our fundamental values, we’re screwed.
I’m a physician and am afraid to forward this article to my colleagues. Cowardice at its finest.
I feel and understand your fear.
This is short but worth watching. It certainly made me stop and think hard about my reticence to speak out.

Sad.
I guess there need to be more support groups like the one described in the article.
