So
I know that people who've known me for years are a bit shocked
shocked that I'm interested in anything
other than painting
or being a wise ass in general
where did all this come from?
It's been building up for some time
I have found myself getting frustrated
no
angry
about how things are going in my country
at the same time
I've had some new experiences
that have made me realize
that even though I am one woman alone
that
every person who ever made a difference
was just one woman
or one man
and this is what I think gets in our way
makes us complacent
is the idea that we're not important
that what we believe isn't important
that no one is listening
that what we can do is so small
that no one will care.
but you know what?
it's not true
because here you are
listening.
are you buying into it?
maybe
maybe not
but you're listening.
and that's why I'm doing it
someone has to say
stop
enough
no more
someone has to say that protecting
our liberty is important
that men and women who
fought for rights
didn't fight in vain
sometimes you have to protect what you value
so
think you don't have anything to say
that you can't make a difference?
well -- I'll tell you -- you don't have to change the world
you just have to reach out
and change one mind
Come blog with us about reproductive rights on 2/15 --
