It’s me. Hi! Love my People, Crafts, Books, and Shiny Things. Coffee in an IV. ‘Tis the damn season to VOTE. This is me trying. Geriatric Swiftie. she/her
Sixty-one years ago today, nonviolent foot soldiers seeking the fundamental right to vote crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama and were met with brutal, state-sanctioned violence. What became known as Bloody Sunday shocked the conscience of the nation and exposed the cruelty of voter suppression.
The courage and discipline of those marchers, who remained committed to nonviolence even in the face of brutality, helped shift public opinion and led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Today, many of the protections that once safeguarded voters from racial discrimination have been weakened, and the work of protecting the right to vote remains unfinished.
Remember the sacrifice of those who marched.
Honor their courage through action. Continue the work of protecting the right to vote for every person.
Contact your members of Congress and urge them to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Sending compassion to every complex trauma survivor who remains in a freeze state due to the news, the world, the inundation with constant triggering information that your mind and body is trying to navigate. Do what you have to do to respect that response.
These are the tactics Nazi Germany used, and they are still being used today, now by this administration, to the American people and the world. #DemsUnited
