Women of democracy
May 11-12, 2024
Hi All,
This is Jennifer Bickett Hubbell, daughter of Robert Hubbell and Jill Bickett.
Robert and Jill arrived at their remote cabin on Friday evening, only to discover there is currently no internet service in the small mountain community. So, my dad asked me to send a short note to open the Comments section this weekend. As always, please be respectful. Debate ideas, not one another.
Message from my dad:
On this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to acknowledge the women of the resistance movement that formed spontaneously after the 2016 election.
The open secret in the modern grassroots movement is that it is 90% women! When the history of this period is written, women will be credited with the leading role in saving our democracy.
I hope to be in touch on Sunday evening, provided I have internet service by then.
Talk to you on Monday!
-Robert
Women have been fighting for a long time......For the right to vote, right to be free to make their own decisions....This has been a long battle for women....Civil rights,reproductive rights etc.
I was born in 1953 and I am part of the 60's and 70's movements that are responsible for Roe v Wade 50 years ago....back alley abortions were what we were fighting to end and now shockingly we will be back at it again. I love that new young men and women will be joining us....Fight on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unplug and enjoy the awesomeness of nature.
As always, remember the BIDEN/HARRIS Administration and Democrats are working to make sure all Americans have internet access. Rural areas are particularly vulnerable. Children should not have to go to a fast food parking lot in an attempt to complete their homework.
The GOP and MAGA would take away access.
Many companies, particularly those generating bill invoices, have gone paperless.
Internet access, therefore, should be considered a utility service,
not a luxury companies can gouge individuals and families to use.
