I'm talking about women in America, about electing a woman as President of the United States, about fully embracing the full power and rights of citizenship that women have fought for for so many years.
Women finally got the right to vote in 1920, but then they still had to struggle to be able to use it, especially if they were black or poor or living under the domination of a paternalistic husband or father. Now in 2024 they are still fighting, for reproductive rights, for equal pay, for voter rights, to be heard and taken seriously.
Women are the glue that holds our nation together. We are the mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and aunts that nurture the next generation. We care about providing them with a planet with clean air and water where our children and grandchildren can live in peace.
This is another very contentious presidential election. Eight years ago I voted for another very qualified woman to be president. It was not to be.
This time I am counting on the women of America to get it done. I have hope that enough of us will support Kamala Harris for president.
It's time.
