White Women Answer the Call, a huge zoom call, well over 100K participants, broke zoom and with $million+ donations crashed the donation function. Then thousands of women, including me, were directed to YouTube, where an array of women, Senator Gillibrand, many Congress women, entertainers like Pink, the co-founder of Indivisible, Megan Rapinoe, and so many more. Many hundreds of individual donors responded.
These are exciting times. I've been texting friends to encourage them to vote blue. Some no reply, some wildly enthusiastic.

This is just the beginning. My current sales pitch is that I want to live to see a black woman in the White House. And for me, it's now or never!
Dear blogistas, join me, donate, talk to friends, groups you feel you can speak with, whatever is your style. Help protect us all from Project 2025.
Meanwhile, here's the grand call for all women of any group Sunday evening.
Updated: so oversubscribed it's been moved to Monday.
Meanwhile, happy day everyone, check this

May the good people rise up in support!
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty. It's just getting them to the polls.
DeleteI wonder if this is the 'doctors' wives' phenomena. I don't know if this is widely known term, but it means white, middle class women turning against a leader or party. In a way I hope it isn't. All women should not vote for #45 and his ilk.
ReplyDeleteThat's a term I didn't know. I agree, no matter how their husbands vote, no women should vote away their own rights. We fight hard enough to keep them without just chucking them away.
DeleteWomen above all have every reason to vote for anyone but Trump. Kamala really seems to have ignited a spark.
ReplyDeleteI'm working as hard as I can to make sure the second major party female candidate gets in. Second mouse gets the cheese!
DeleteFantastic , well done you and all others! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe've only just begun!
DeleteI hope that you ladies carry the day.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan.
DeleteSuddenly, people are galvanised into action at the thought of a new possibility, a new era. Exciting times!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great time to be part of a hinge of history. When we get her into office, everything will fall into before and after.
DeleteLotus for Potus!
ReplyDeleteCatchy, isn't it?
DeleteYes, I hope Inauguration Day being on MLK Day is an omen!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteYou, like Kamala, are a force of nature.
ReplyDeleteNice to aspire to, anyway!
DeleteI'm loving it. I'm especially loving how Harris always refers to Trump as a criminal.
ReplyDeleteShe's been dealing with his kind all her life. Takes it to him.
DeleteThis is really encouraging. You walk the walk. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Pass it on.
DeleteShe's certainly got my vote. I'm encouraged that so many people are responding positively to her potential (almost certain) nomination.
ReplyDeleteThere's such air of optimism. She often says that this can be fun.
DeleteSo unusual. I'm very hopeful.
The whole world of women is behind you.
ReplyDeleteGo girl power!
I'm a tee shirt kinda woman. My new one says Vote like Ruth sent you.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
DeleteI'm with you. And her!
ReplyDeleteAnd so say all of us!
DeleteAlthough I freely admit I'm not really well-versed in the political make-up in the US, I hope all this swelling of support will translate into the votes necessary to topple the electoral college which, as I understand it, was the downfall of Hilary Clinton. I simply don't understand a voting system that ignores the total number of votes for a candidate with no assurance that the one with the most actually manages to win. Boggles the mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's about winning states, not votes. And I agree we need to abolish the EC. it's an archaic remnant of the founders' fear of the people. They were wealthy white men, considered themselves the ruling class.
