Heather, this is breathtaking. I am reminded of that summer, I was 15 and wanted to go to Mississippi. My mother put her foot down and told me to picket the bank on the corner where we lived in NYC and who refused Black families mortgages. “I’m not letting some southern sheriff kill you!” And then, the three civil rights workers were murdered. I will never get over it…

The Andrew Goodman foundation was established to fight for voting rights by his family and friends. They are working on the 30million young people 18-30 year olds who don't know diddlysquat about the people who died for the right to vote and don't care enough to inform themselves and vote.
Now their civil rights are being systematically stripped away and one day their right to marry whom they want, the right for an abortion after they were careless, their right to vote will have been stripped away and then their rights might make a difference but it is too late. KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THAT.
Talk to him/her and explain what happened in Germany in the 1920s.... and then they came for you.....etc. .
