I’m disgusted by this news

John,   The war on women is here.   The overturning of Roe v. Wade effectively made women second-class citizens – and the onslaught of oppressive legislation that has arisen all across the country was only the beginning.   We know that access to reproduct…

It’s never too early

Here’s why the ground we gain now will make all the difference John,   Election Day 2024 may feel far away – but the truth is, we’re the underdog in this race. David is mounting a challenge against a Republican who’s been in office for a quarter-century. W…

How do we celebrate freedom when so many aren’t free?

John,   Tomorrow, with family and friends underneath fireworks, we celebrate Independence Day – the birth of our nation, and most importantly, the birth of a vision and a collection of ideals.   I know that for me, it feels difficult to celebrate this yea…

Celebrating Pride in June and beyond

I’m remembering Stonewall and looking ahead John,   54 years ago today, brave LGBTQ+ New Yorkers stood up against vitriol and hatred at the Stonewall uprising. This marked a watershed moment for the movement for LGBTQ+ equality in America, and a defining …

One year without Roe v. Wade

Where do we go from here? John,   One year ago today, a US Supreme Court – bought by radical right-wing forces – overturned Roe v. Wade, reversing 50 years of precedent and threatening the lives of women all over the country and jeopardizing numerous funda…

Juneteenth, the second Independence Day

John,   Today we observe Juneteenth, the newest holiday to be added to our nation’s federal calendar – the first one in 38 years.    The promise of equality is not going to be fulfilled . . . so long as the sacred right to vote remains under attack. We se…
