When was the last time any of you marched for civil rights,

lgbt rights, workers rights, environmental rights, and voting rights? For me it was last year and every year since 2010. I support Bernie Sanders and am also a disability rights activist. Your lines of attack are offensive to us that take the time to do these things. I wish I could explain the advantages of fusion politics and how we should advance together while still have proper debates on issues that divide America and that we should stand together in general terms. But I see that is out the window in some regards. What a pity at this time in history of our republic. The choice, however, still remains yours.

While I haven't marched since 2014, I have been an active participant in local issues.

Idle No More, pride parade every year. Oh, yes, Occupy every weekend for several months.

just yesterday. I even posted a link here.

But since that was San Diego, and the NAN, and covered by a Jewish Latina, that does not matter.

It is par for the course

Oh and here is the external link

Against the war and for justice for people on the gulf coast (post Katrina)

Started having children after that, so we haven't done much since then.

We are raising to little female revolutionaries, though. They'll probably attend their first political event when Bernie comes to Michigan.
