Well, GOOD JOB, EVERYONE! We did it! I don't know about you, but I'm feeling kinda empowered this week: we called our representatives, and something changed.
I've been tinkering with this draft a minute at a time this week (bc: full-time gig) and just deleted pretty much everything.
The Discourse is moving fast, and I don't have a ton to add to it, other than: white women, let's show up for this election BUT ALSO NOT IN A WEIRD WAY. (This is always my wish for evangelicals, too: guys, can you just be un-weird for a single moment? The answer is usually an exuberant ABSOLUTELY NOT!)
There's a WEBINAR FOR THE WHITE WOMEN Thursday night. Maybe hosted by Glennon Doyle! Unclear! My daughter and I will be there, and if you fit the description, we'd love for you to join us. Tbh, I'm a little skeptical, because Glennon's record has been...uneven, I guess? on the race front. But it's getting good support from good people and was apparently specifically urged into being by a group of Black women activists. So I'm going to check it out, and I'll report back. Register for the group; then click through and register for the webinar.
We've all been saying we want to help. This is a way. Let's give it a shot! I think we've all got a new two-to-five-hours-per-week hobby, from now to November. Let's start shifting our brains in that direction, with specifics to come.
HELL YES, LET'S GO.
What are you thinking? How are you feeling after Sunday? What are your questions now? Love you! Excited for democracy!
