Here's a script idea if you need help writing it:

And then tell them why you're taking your income, your spending power, & your taxes elsewhere. It's time to tell them what they're losing because of Republican politicians. They need to see the consequences of their actions/choices. The only way they'll see it is if they see numbers. 👇

Thank you for reminding me to share it!!

Nice to meet you!!

Acknowledging my privilege doesn't detract from my struggles. So I have no shame in talking about it. None of us can help the circumstances we were born into. But those of us with more privilege than others have an opportunity to use it to benefit others.

I hope you'll join me in doing so.

To me, THAT is what privilege is: access to success. I will always have to work harder than some, but my privilege gets my foot in the door. A door often slammed in the faces of those who aren't white, cisgender, and Christian.

If you've struggled with understanding privilege, I hope this helps.

My privilege does not take away my hard work. But it does mean that I was able to see the fruits of my labors, whereas my peers who don't have my same privilege labor without the fruits. They work just as hard, usually harder, without the same reward.

I am a living testament to the benefits of privilege. I was able to "pull myself up by my bootstraps" and create a career despite my lack of education. I was able to achieve a middle-class status despite growing up in poverty.

I had access to success, even if I had to work very hard for it.
