I’m biased as a woman of color in a non traditional marriage, but this is absolutely mandatory. I will lose a day’s wages, and it may impact my ability to pay my bills. But are you not seeing the future of this administration if people stand by and accept it?

Yes, absolutely. But what rent can I pay when I’m suddenly deported because my parents were (legal) immigrants? When I’m being forced to give birth? When I’m fired and accused of being a DEI hire? When my children are hunted? I am willing to sacrifice for this cause.

Women are the ones who are going to get it done. We have the most to lose.

Listen. My son’s birth certificate has an extended stay motel as his address. I understand poverty. It is NOT worse than what’s coming.

It is a lot more difficult to be evicted in most states (even if you don’t pay your rent) than it is to be picked up by ICE.
I get it. I’ve been too poor to even make it to work at least a few times. (Could not pay for the gas or a ride)
The point is right now we need numbers to protect what very very little autonomy we still have. If it would absolutely kill you to participate then don’t but we don’t need this shit right now.
Don’t let the pursuit of perfection keep us from uniting. Now is the time for common ground.
