Just wanted to say that I am reading along here and sharing the insight and the frustration. Voting is a long-term strategy, and we know what we have to do there. I think you raise the important question of what our short & mid-range term strategies are, and particularly, how do we make sure that we work as a group to protect People who are being marginalized. For me, one of the important starting places is to always make sure people have the opportunity to tell you what they need, so I hope you will continue to speak up. One of the important things I learned while working at DOJ is that when you're trying to solve an important problem, you can go fast alone or far together. I think we need solutions to focus on the together part.
We need prominent non-elected people to start speaking out. Where are our allies in Hollywood? What about the music industry? Why hasn't any celeb in Tennessee for example spoken out against these fascist dictator moves? Why are studio heads all of a sudden canceling shows that feature queer women as leads? I feel erased in society right now. They are taking Pride events away from us in so many places. I'm only lucky because I live in Chicago and our voters didn't choose that fake Dem candidate Paul Vallas, otherwise we would be (excuse my language Joyce) fucked here too because he was set on destroying my city. Jill Wine-Banks will echo my sentiments here about Chicago. I really wish you and the rest of the #SistersInLaw hosts would do a show here in Chicago so I could meet all of you. It would be a great mental health thing too for us to have a place to gather and strategize with like-minded people.

I agree! I keep seeing big acts playing in these states and I just don’t get it.
