I think everyone was waiting for someone or something to get ball rolling.
A lot of individuals tried.
A lot of groups tried.
But nothing felt “right” to the people until our President, who worked extremely hard to strengthen America for us for four difficult years, while bad actors (and occasionally some of our own) undermined him every step of the way, said, “No More”.
The shock waves from his decision jarred Americans out of our stasis.
I don’t know about any of you, but when Joe Biden stepped down from his candidacy, it felt like the death of a parent. Then the sudden, daunting realization that we were suddenly on our own and expected to sink or swim.
But wait, our President left a light on for us before he stepped aside. He endorsed Kamala Harris…
Poor Kamala Harris. She had to have felt every single one of the measuring eyes of Americans, of the world, friends and foes, and everyone in between, land on her all at once. But there she stood, tall and strong, like our American flag has through countless moments, as she waited for us to decide on a democracy for all or to hand over our country to those who would destroy us.
Then, all over social media, people started using their voices, some quiet and uncertain and some loudly, to rally behind Kamala Harris, while the extremist Right Wing stood with their mouths agape.
I don’t think the rest of us have ever heard the strength and beauty in how all of our different voices sound together…
Lisa, You said it all. From wanting to cry when Joe Biden stood down to the overwhelming joy of watching Kamala RISE and we followed with joy and commitment. It is ALL OF US taking up the torch for Democracy, Decency and Integrity.
Well said Lisa, women are now the leaders and especially with Kamala Harris taking her role as the Presidential Candidate, I can hardly wait to watch her poll numbers continue to go up, her rallies being filled with more and more strong young women who are angry and determined to be the ones who control what they do with their body.

Let’s keep singing so others can find us.
Wow. Let us all keep singing so the others can find us.
Listen for the tuba line. You do not want my singing voice contributing. But I can knock down a heck of a bass line.
Haha! Whatever works!!
Such a lovely comment.
I love this - what an inspiring response!! 🇺🇸
So beautifully put. You got me crying again ❤️🙏

Yes, but let’s remember that this is all people working together for the benefit & protection of all - a full chorus with a full range of voices.
Beautiful, Lisa.
