Zero-Sum, Entitlement & Bigotry... in the Midterm Elections
How do we break the zero-sum myth Americans keep falling for... feuling the division in our communities?
How do we educate Americans on the Women's Healthcare crisis, fueled by the anti-abortion/pro-life movements?
How do we educate Americans on civics? Not voting is not appropriate. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is horrifying and religion & abortion can be at odds, but a political party will never satify everyone. We need to move forward TOGETHER, above all else.
Americans keep dressing up bigotry in different "looks". Pass the ERA! We MUST face our history with slavery, we need to stop thinking we can step on others to get ahead.
Find out more about Christian Nationalism & the organizations fighting back.
ON NOVEMBER 4th & 5th, BEFORE OR AFTER THEY VOTED, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS GOOGLED THIS:
"DID JOE BIDEN DROP OUT?"
