Thankyou for another stirring description of what true liberty might look like. No matter who you vote for, the items on your agenda are important for us all. I voted Harris because I cannot and will not endorse the other candidate. The question is, can she hear the message of liberation or will she be another political hack. I hope we get the chance to find out. However, at the same time your ideas, Desiree, are right on. Blessings.
Blessings to you as well! I don’t believe anyone at the helm of the empire will be able to be moved to liberation. I do believe she is the “safer” choice but safer for who? She is a stop the bleed vote and we still have plenty more work to move through and that’s what I seek to help with.
I want to be clear I don’t begrudge anyone’s vote for her, it makes sense I just need us to know that’s not where the work ends, it’s just the beginning
I hear you on wanting to make some serious change ( and, BTW I love your newsletter). I voted Kamala and here is why. At the end of the day I have to ask myself, Do I want to be right, or do the right thing? And for me, there is no choice. With Kamala, we get a piece of cake and with Trump, we get no cake. If we elect Kamala, we can start knocking on her door and state our case for what we want to change, starting with Gaza. With Trump, we will get arrested for protesting. I also can't turn my back on the women who can not even vote, whose reproductive rights are on the line. I have voted third party in the past. As a 55 year old women, I have a different perspective now. I have seen how the Nader vote gave us George Bush and set us back. I look at voting, not as an identity, but as a pathway. Kamala is a pathway to making the kind of change I want to see. Too many lives are at stake for me to feel "right." I must do the right thing for not me, but for all, who are living right now, and have a lot to lose.
I’m going to lean into this with curiosity and I hope we can engage that way. When you say “ I must do the right thing for not me, but for all, who are living right now, and have a lot to lose”

Why not you? Do you not have something to lose?
