“ The question isn’t why are you so radical…the question is why aren’t you?
— When it comes to being a feminist, people say I am too radical, if you knew something about the way women were treated and what they really lived through in the rest of the world, you would be a radical too!

Don't Let Them Do That to You: All human life is a gift.
Earlier today I was selling flowers for Mother’s Day after an evening mass. One of the masses was a special needs mass. As I was asking if anyone wanted to buy flowers, a mother and her disabled son were leaving and her son…

The Violence Against Women Act Isn’t a Distraction!
GOP Senate candidate Sarah Steelman said that the Violence Against Women Act is a distraction created by the Democrats to avoid “real issues” like the budget. She later admitted that she was unfamiliar with the VAWA.
The Violence Against Women Act is the leading piece of legislation in the fight against domestic violence and sexual assault. Violence against women isn’t just a “real issue”, it’s a major issue.
Up until now, the VAWA has been supported by people with all political views, but language that supports LGBT folks and immigrants is making Republicans object to it, causing a controversy.
As a person running in a major political race, Sarah Steelman should be educated about the VAWA, and as a person and a woman, she should support it wholeheartedly. Please tell Sarah Steelman that the Violence Against Women Act isn’t a distraction!

White feminists:
When you discuss the wage gap, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Only white women make $0.77 to a man’s dollar.
- Black women make about $0.68 to a man’s dollar.
- Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.
Intersectionality matters.
