We met in a clubhouse in the middle of town. I knew I was at the right place by the photo in the window. So symbolic. This set the tone for the rest of the night.
We were mothers and daughters. Friends and sisters. Women eagerly waiting to contribute, willing to show up.
My favorite quote from the night was by a young lady who was grateful for the exposure of racism and sexism and hate. A feeling that none of us could relate to off the bat. But then she changed all of our hearts when she said she wanted to "face it so she could change it". Yes! That's exactly what we are going to do.
Some of the main takeaways from our small discussion breakout group:
Trump's Conflicts of Interest
Human & Civil Rights
Legal Immigrants
Health Care
Steve Knight
Where to Start?
The feeling of Safety & Inclusion for Marginalized Groups
