I have marched in rallies for decades to uphold and defend the US against violence, war, and the and evisceration of our democracy. My husband was a legislative recruiter for the Democratic party in our state, a mayor who ran on the principles of equality and unity, and the betterment of all people. As a professor I taught my students the value of peaceful resistance to protect our democracy. It has been my life's goal and purpose.

I do not apologize for rightly fearing what the lawless right may do to undermine our democracy.
