Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Tomorrow is an action for women where we don't shop or work, if possible.  I'm going to wear red and do what I can, but I have an eye injection, so I'm going to be at the doctor's for that.  I'll do what I can, because it's up to each of us to be the change we want to see.  I'll also wear my button that says:  nevertheless, she persisted.  I just got it in the mail last night.  It feels better to be doing these small actions than to be complaining.  Maybe they didn't notice me before, but I'm a squeaky wheel now!  I have been active in issues all my life, and not doing much in recent years didn't feel like "me".  Now I'll hope that enough of us women can raise our voices loud and long enough to be heard.  We're defending not only ourselves, but women all over the world.  We are important and should be valued.  Our childraising alone should guarantee us a seat at the table.  Listen to us.  We know what matters and what is important to pursue.  Safety, opportunity for all, fairness and compassion.  Listen.
