Dear Readers,
Last night’s election results are still raw for me. Yet, immediately after the Pennsylvania call, I felt the collective spirit that we felt eight years ago. Our work, our struggle, and our commitment to progress continues on. There will be a lot of dissecting of what went wrong.
As a millennial woman, I felt most acutely for the Gen Z women of the electorate. Particularly those voting for the first time. A generation of folk who grew up practicing active shooter drills, fighting the climate crisis, and with less reproductive rights than their mothers and grandmothers.
