“Women have always been the courageous ones. The men think they are courageous. They don’t know what courage is.”
— Mary Daly, Boston College lecture
Thank you for being part of the resistance.
You are the kind of woman other women will one day speak about—the ones who showed up, raised their hands, and refused to go quiet. You are the reason our foremothers fought. And we will fight in their name, because we’ve learned (or maybe we always knew): no one is coming to save us.
We are the saviors we need.
I’m honored — truly — by every one of you who has given your name and email. It’s a sign you care. A sign you’re paying attention. A sign you still have fight in you. A sign women will not sit passively by.
Tonight is our first town hall. It may be messy. It may be imperfect. It will almost certainly begin a few minutes after I put my kids to bed. But I know that women (unlike many others) have patience and understanding. And that is why we deserve to be heard. That is why we deserve to be in charge.
Women will run this world— if enough of us keep caring, keep organizing, and keep showing up. Like you are now.
Thank you.
The Zoom link is below, with instructions to join. I’ll send a brief note a few minutes before we begin. Capacity is limited to the first 1,000 attendees, but I will record the session and share it afterward for anyone who can’t get in live.
“The silence of women is deafening. That is why men fear it breaking.”

-Quote of the week-
"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism."
Hannah Arendt
