Visibility Visits to Capitol Hill!

Off to Washington for Visibility Visits!

Women are rising like never before, with a renewed sense of “wokeness” to the dangers of patriarchy. On this Earth Day, when we honor our mother Earth, the source of all life and the treasures she provides us, let us acknowledge that the masculine energies around competition have brought us to this place of violence and scarcity. Capitalism allows the greedy to pillage our planet and wreak havoc on innocent communities.

Elon Musk’s recent space blast debacle epitomizes that dangerous masculine intrusion into our day-to-day lives. Imagine a feminine approach! We could be creating beautiful parks, gardens, and schools for our communities, providing healthcare for all: everybody in, nobody out.

To honor some of the many women in Congress who share my vision, I have purchased 50 mugs with the Half the Congress Should Be Women logo on both sides, and plan to distribute them to their offices on Capitol Hill on May 1 and 2. Please contact me if you are interested in helping me!!

That adds up to 49 mugs, and the 50^th mug will go to Congressman Earl Blumenauer of Oregon for his unwavering support of women in politics. We need more members like him.

But most of all we need more women in Congress!! The inequality in that body is the status quo of patriarchy. Inertia. Cynicism. Go along to get along. A new era is dawning, and steadily we are making progress. Nothing happens overnight in the political world, so practicing patience helps a LOT!!
