The Morning After

The Morning After: organizing around your remorse, fear and anger.

When you've had unprotected sex, the next morning you can simply go to the pharmacy and purchase Plan B aka the morning after pill. When you fail a course in university, you can either retake the class and work for a better grade or take it again pass/fail (providing it's an elective). When you vote for the wrong official, you can't make such a simple choice or decision, you have to wait years. Elections have consequences.

Today's women's march is a byproduct of that consequence. We march today because we made the wrong choice last November. We march today because we have buyers remorse and we can't return the item. We march today because your new president wants to grab you by pussy and you're fighting back. We march today because we still have more progressing to do. We march as John Lewis did for civil rights. We march like MLK, so that little black girls can hold hands with little white girls and shout that we are one. We march today so we can have a more inclusive, a more accepting, a more progressive union. We march today to stand for something, otherwise we'll fall for anything. Use that remorse, that anger and get organized. So, when anyone grabs you, YOU GRAB BACK!
