“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

I gave public comment at a County Commissioners meeting this morning about a DEI issue.

Sadly, many folks opposed to DEI, provided their comments and left.

BUT, even more folks in opposition to DEI initiatives stayed, listened and are reconsidering their stance!

This is how change happens.

I attended my first Town Hall meeting, put on by @wyden.senate.gov

I felt motivated and energized afterwards to connect with others in my area within the next couple of days.

I walked away feeling grateful to be represented by someone like Senator Wyden and proud to be an Oregonian.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Talking about change is great, but we need movement.

Get off your phones. Talk to your neighbors, civic leaders. Work in groups of three to make quick, decisive actions.

Learn a new skill. Teach a skill you have mastered.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie?

Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care.

They are the new face of the opposition.
