So many of the things in my life were dearly bought. My freedom of speech stands because of those who bled to defend it, in and out of uniform. My right to vote comes from women willing to be beaten and jailed for it, and men willing to stand with them and share power. My reproductive freedoms are bought with the blood women shed for decades in back alleys, and the blood of doctors shot by fanatics. And my safe, comfortable workplace owes its origin to women so terrified to burn alive that they leaped ten stories to certain death, to slaughterhouse workers who lost life and limb on the killing floor, to coal miners coughing up black chunks of their lungs, to desperate people willing to risk what dangerous jobs they had in hopes that organizing to improve them would give everyone a better life. The least I can do is speak out in defense of what they built for me.

Wow. YES - THIS!!

You never cease to amaze me with your ability to write with such power.
