Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Trump and Pence have got to go! PTSD is real and we need to talk about it!

      I first stood up for civil rights by joining the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Later protested the Vietnam War in D.C. and NYC.  I’m also a staunch women’s rights advocate, 60s Feminist and political progressive/Berner.  I have a congenital knee problem that has “kicked up” and prevents me from marching.

I was planning on marching in my city of Minneapolis, MN, but slipped on the ice Monday night and fractured my spine and broke a rib. I was discharged out of the hospital on 1/18, but marching now would be impossible and I am so sad to miss the act of resistance. I am joining…
