The SUFFS play is making itself around the country. I'm proud my great-grandmother #IdaBWells is portrayed and It is well worth seeing it.

‘I was here’: Ida B. Wells’ family still feels her fight against erasure — and ‘Suffs’ shows why

Apparently the GOP doesn't think government should do anything to help anyone who needs any type of assistance or support--students, the poor, sick, elderly, unemployed, disabled, immigrants, hourly workers, or victims of natural disasters. And 77M voted for this.
