30. Huge K&R!

"We need to do this and we need to do it together." Many will try to divide and conquer. It must not happen.

I am no longer a woman who can become pregnant but I must fight until my last breath to maintain the right of choice, for truth in sex education for our young people, and for access to affordable and effective birth control.

I am not a person of color, but I must not sit silent while my brothers and sisters are harassed, maligned, and murdered just because of the color of their skin.

I am not GLB or T but I must not allow second-class citizenship to be the law of the land for those who are, for bullying to be acceptable behavior, or for discrimination to be a "right."

I am retired but I must fight for equal opportunities in employment regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, for equal pay for equal work, for holes in the glass ceiling that anyone can walk through.

Thank you, sheshe. You are a gift from the goddess of truth.
