Given our numbers, American women could and should be a moral force for good. We have tremendous power that we’re not yet using. #1 one should be the health and safety of children here & elsewhere. We should be fierce on their behalf, from safety to health to education to freedom

Children have no capacity to defend themselves from abuse. It’s our moral & civic responsibility to do for them what they cannot do for themselves. There should be a public outcry, a demand that the fight against online abuse of children be properly funded and vigorously pursued.

Many times people say “I don’t even want to know about those things because there’s nothing I can do & it just makes me depressed.” But it’s actually the opposite. Power goes where attention goes. Know about such things in order to talk about them in order to change them.

“The United States is number two in the world for hosting child pornography websites.” Dangers to our children should be a top priority, yet only half the money appropriated to fight crimes against children online has been given to the effort . pbs.org/newshour/show/why-it…

I’m all in for Public Banking - bravo to those in California who are making it happen there. Recent interest in Public Banking is a healthy sign; pushing back against usurious practices on the part of banks has been an important corrective measure through our history. #bigtruth

The ground on which we’ll unite as Americans is the higher ground of moral repair. Not Left or Right, or even Democrats or Republicans. We’ll unite as Americans, having come to realize that aligning public policy with the goodness in our hearts is our best and only path forward.

When hate shouts it’s not enough for love to whisper. We’ve been trained to say “Pretty please” in relation to things we should be demanding: safety & health for all, equal justice & opportunity, & a survivable planet. Those things will not just be “given” us; we must rise up now

We need what MLK Jr. called a “coalition of conscience” among those who think love and compassion are a moral compass that should guide public policy as much as individual behavior. This idea does not run counter to peace & economic prosperity; it’s the key to peace & prosperity.

For years federal law enforcement agencies downplayed threat of white supremacy or were blocked from addressing it. Now DHS is admitting the problem and we must fund efforts to proactively combat it no differently than we would any other form of terrorism nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/po…

Statistically, a black person is given a 19.1 per cent longer prison sentence than is someone who’s white. Racial disparities in criminal sentencing are a scourge that we must end. marianne2020.com/issues/crim…
