Lets Do It

My first protest I was 17 years old in my first year of college at Westfield State College. We marched against the Vietnam War. The next time we marched because they killed young adults for protesting at Kent state. I turned 18, then we marched for Black Power fists raised. And in the same year we did a sleep in on the president's lawn trying to get a response form the college president. The FBI was watching us.

Since then I have marched for the environment and organized small marches for Peace over the years, until the People's Climate March in NYC 2015, then the massive Women's March Boston 2017 and the Environmental March in DC - #EarthSpiritAction This year I attended The Women's Rally in Cambridge and yesterday the March for Our Lives in Boston. What a huge growth in people who are active. This is great!

So you could say I am a boots on the ground believer. But I am getting older. It is harder. I am still willing, but I am so relieved by the engagement of the Millennial generation and the new generationZ. It takes work to make an impact and create change. I will be with you as long as I can, but you need to take the baton and lead us away from the greed and corruption that is killing our world and our society. We need you. #LetsDoIt
