We are two weeks away from the midterm elections. It’s difficult to think of something pithy or motivational to say at this point, and I don’t have to because I attended a meeting last week and Gloria Steinem did it for us (as she usually does!) We are way less likely to give up hope if we understand that hope is the most powerful form of planning…. Our power begins with decision-making power over our own bodies and voices — and since only we have wombs, that’s a lot! The anti-democratic forces of patriarchy and racism know this. That’s why they resist reproductive freedom and freedom of speech. And it’s why our insistence on those freedoms - especially but not only by women - is the key to democracy.
Thank you Allison and just love the interview with Cindy and YES to the shift to "forced birthers" - because that is what they are doing.
