It's personal. It's painful.
It happened, and I moved on.
I want better for "My Why," and I want her to always know that her rights matter, that her government is not corrupt, that her neighbors stood up for her, and that she will need to stand up for them one day.
I want her to know that long before she came into my life, I was gang raped but moved on. I did not need an abortion, but I knew that it was my right and was there if I needed to make that choice.
I want her to know that we are at this point in history because of greed and racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, elitism, and bigotry, but that we, the people, rose up and took back our power and advocated for democracy with freedom to have reproductive rights and abortion. And we advocated for so much more. I want her to know that people believed progress was possible and moved mountains to make it happen.
Lastly, I want My Why to understand the difference between saying you believe in "liberty and justice for all" and standing up for those values daily in your words and actions. It is harmful to all to be an imposter.
Why this? Why now?
I share this because even with the assault on our freedoms and rights in states all across the country, I believe with all of my heart that we are better than our worst days. Next week, I am bringing your People Power United voice with me to the Supreme Court as they hear important cases like:
Monday, April 22: Johnson v. Grants Pass. At its core, this case will decide whether cities can punish people for sleeping outside with a pillow or blanket, even when there are no safe shelter options.
Wednesday, April 24: Idaho v. United States & Moyle v. United States (Emergency Care Ban, EMTALA). This case has nationwide implications for the right to emergency care, including abortion.
Thursday, April 25: Trump v. US. Former President Trump is arguing that no president can be an effective leader or do their job UNLESS they are allowed to commit crimes and receive immunity.
What can I do? How can I make a difference?
As someone who knew nothing about politics or organizing a few years ago, I can only share my limited insight. The most significant piece of advice I can give is to do something. Find an issue, then fight like hell to make people aware of it and find ways to empower and inspire them to take action.
Next week, I need your voice; I need your help amplifying the voice of People Power. Buckle up; it will get bumpy, but know we, the people, have your back!
