Was just telling someone today, the natives are the root of which many things will grow from. Not hearing much from Chase. I know he has a court date coming up. Worries me. Yes hard to keep up. Take some down time but never give up. They are counting on resistance fatigue and normal life happenings to stop us, but I can tell you, folks on the ground here may rest from time to time, but they are not quitting. I've done something activist wise everyday for over a week, so have many others. Tomorrow is a rest day and catch up at home. Thank you for your support. It matters. More than you might think. I love sharing with you and Linda even if it is written quickly and my enthusiasm runs wild!<br />Ummm, wasn't able to post comment using my google profile. I Think it changed a setting. Will work on that in future.<br />TerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-88046855193470219532017-03-12T00:26:46.932-04:002017-03-12T00:26:46.932-04:00Terri,

It is good to see there is room for men in the movement - some of us are allies. We need more. The Native March on Washington was something to see. No coincidence that they are rising at this time. They are showing us the way, as usual, if we will only listen. Thanks for keeping us posted - it is hard to keep up lately.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-23044387994647254752017-03-12T00:22:56.960-04:002017-03-12T00:22:56.960-04:00Alex,

I continued today by stopping by a woman owned business I hadn't been to before and asked if the business was woman owned, she said yes and I've made a new friend! She is now connected with our local activist group! It's quite remarkable how large the Women's March was and is and how many more women (and men) have joined this very committed, very active group!<br /><br />Our local activist group posted a list of women-owned businesses in our small city!<br /><br />There were quite a few school districts call off school yesterday because so many teachers asked for the day off! Yay!<br /><br />Men can help with the struggle for women's rights and equal pay. They are being welcomed in our groups. Because it is a patriarchal society, ultimately it is men who have to grant women equality under law. Sobering thought.<br /><br />Thanks for honoring "A Day Without Women" by writing this post Gregg. Pretty cool that the organizers called for a day without shopping!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735740353891550502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-86168247230305379302017-03-09T15:21:45.663-04:002017-03-09T15:21:45.663-04:00Just watched this talk by Dr Klaper:https://youtu....Just watched this talk by Dr Klaper:https://youtu.be/G2g7iIag4zE<br />Which talks about the sad life of a female diary cow.
