You are right too. I will continue to work with the League of Women Voters as I have been since 2017. I am active. It is the equivalent of a part time job for me (sometimes full time).

You are right too. I will continue to work with the League of Women Voters as I have been since 2017. I am active. It is the equivalent of a part time job for me (sometimes full time). But without Reproductive Rights for women it is hard to call us a democracy. The overturning of Roe pushed by religious extremists was a turning point. I do not see how we can call this a democracy at this time. I have ancestors (back to revolutionary times) and current relatives who have fought for this country. I love this country. But it has been captured by religious extremists and oligarchs at the same time and they are currently cooperating. Meanwhile our legislators at the federal level and many state legislators have spent years lining their own pockets and not protecting their constituents (including their right to vote).I do not think we yet understand what the overturning of Roe meant or portends. When half the population loses its bodily autonomy and people in power care more for the Bible than the Constitution things look bad to me and maybe irreversible. Still I will work for voting rights. I will not back down from that.
Mary Ellen—thank you for working with the League of Women Voters! I, too do this and I know that the LWV makes a difference!🗽
It’s a dark time for citizens who understand our country’s current situation but we must continue to be vigilant and be the light in the (seemingly) darkness. I could go on but it’s Thanksgiving day and hopefully, people will share the blessings we all share as citizens of the U.S. and take time to think (or heal) and roll up our sleeves and keep moving forward. We will keep working and we will make a difference ❤️🤍💙!
