President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

I couldn't find a #FeministIR starter pack, so I took a first rather random stab at it. As I am bound to have missed relevant people (still struggling with the platform), so please let me know if you would like to be added. Apologies in advance.
