Now that session is over and the cooler and the wi-fi have been fixed, it is time to set up the campaign office (AKA my studio). I am filing, tossing and recycling— in addition to organizing items into my new bins. Begone ratty plastic bags. Now I have bins for #powersforthepeople buttons, business cards, fliers, volunteer lanyards and my Pride Parade stash of streamers, balloons and sparkly ribbon. Of course, the campaign office has a kitty bed. This is the before picture. #shepersists #tucson #progressive #demslead #organized #ld9 #onward (at Tucson, Arizona)

I wasn't seeing trans women in #ShePersisted memes. So I made my own.

My mom sent a matching surprise to me and Dylan. Thanks Jojo! 💕🐱#resist #shepersists

Well I decided to put my body where my mouth and keyboard are by signing up to volunteer with my local ACLU office. I may not have money to donate to things, but I have time to give. Honestly I just need to DO something. Not everyone can volunteer but since I am able it seems like the best use of my energy. I’ve never volunteered like this before, any official volunteering I’ve done has been with people I already knew, so I’m a little nervous about the idea. But I’d rather be nervous about that than despair over my social media feeds. I’m going to take a page out of my states Elizabeth Warren and persist in being part of the resistance. 

There’s a real poetic justice in the fact that this misogynistic administration is inadvertently bolstering feminism. People are seeing it, people are talking about it, we’re finally getting down to starting those important, long overdue conversations about intersectionality/racism/transphobia/etc within the movement. For all their efforts to destroy us, they’ve only made us stronger.

I'm very excited to share this colorway with you. "Nevertheless, She Persisted" is dyed in a multi-step process that results in unique skeins full of the colors of the resistance: Sick of it Sage, Pussyhat Pink, Pantsuit Purple, and Not Having it Navy. 10% of proceeds will be donated to Emily's List, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women get elected to office.
