It's August. Well Done, Sister Suffragette!
Never thought we’d have to fight for this again. But here we are, at least in these, our Disunited States, wondering what insult, what assault on our personhood, we’ll have to suffer next. We’ve already lost our right to bodily autonomy. Next?
The right to vote? Nope. Not over RBG’s dead body. It’s the only right we have in this great country of ours. But really, that’s only white people. And in 1920, when we were granted the PRIVILEGE of voting, we fought like hell for it.
We were beaten, sexually assaulted, jailed, force-fed, and diminished. But we didn’t give up. We need that fight back.
There are a lot of people in this country who already know what it’s like to not have equal access to voting. Because it’s never been truly equal. Never.
Women are being threatened with the withdrawal of a basic right of citizenship through the ill-concealed purpose of the “SAVE” act. Save?
Q: Save what?
A: The Orange Monstrosity’s ass when he attempts to break the law again and steal a third election.
We can’t let that happen. We're telling stories about voting. About agency. About freedom.
