A privilege many still take for granted. Well done, Kendall!
A privilege many either abuse or refuse to use
A right that a lot of people forget is really a privilege... Well said, Kendall!!
I like that the poem has a straightforward and important message ❤️
I have in my office an oversized postcard from Kansas League of Women Voters with Rosie the Riveter saying, "Kansas Women Vote!" My question is, while I agree they did, I have to wonder why so many of them voted for a well known serial rapist who wants to send them back to the stone age? (Not to mention everyone else he doesn't like.)
Lets hope this and other things of progress are not forgotten or dismissed.
The bit about the right to vote makes me think about how far we've come, but also how much further we still have to go. It's important to keep that fight going. I wonder what specific actions you think we should take now to ensure everyone's voting rights are protected. And how can we make sure younger generations stay engaged in this crucial battle? Also, it's cool that you create all this content. What inspires you to write about these topics?
