Have you ever been told your dreams were too big or too idealistic?
We hear it all the time, anti-abortion politicians telling us that our progressive policies are amoral, too expensive, too idealistic. While we battle unprecedented threats to people of color's health, progress and political power, it's easy to believe them when they shut us down. This is an incredibly uncertain time, and uncertainty can be frightening. It's also a time when people tell us to stop dreaming and simply accept “reality.”
You know who was told their dreams are too big, too? Martin Luther King Jr. Shirley Chisolm. Grace Lee Boggs… The very visionaries who brought about real justice and changed the narrative of what's possible.
We have a big dream, too: A sustainable, multi-racial, feminist-centered democracy. Will you dare to dream with us? Especially now, when we are launching a new campaign—For All Our Futures! We are linking arms with national and state organizations across the country to stand strong in these very unsettling times.
The For All Our Futures campaign aims to fight for our democracy, economy and our health, including access to abortion. After the Dobbs decision decimated abortion access—a move that disproportionately affects those living on the margins trying to make ends meet, and folks of color—now is the time for bold vision and big action. To dream bigger and do bigger. To find the courage to fight for our communities, ourselves, our futures—and to do it together.
Share this post along with your vision with us on social media using the hashtag, #ForAllOurFutures, no matter how idealistic. And if you're in a position to, please make a gift that supports our strategic plan to make it happen.
