I am more than 240 years old. I have watched you my whole life, begging for the vote, begging not to be beaten by your husbands, begging for the right to control your own bodies. I have heard you plead for equal pay, and I have watched you be mocked for working at all. I have heard you scream in childbirth and scream when men sent your babies to war. Every time I thought I was almost finished, demoralized, you stood up and spoke for what was right, while men debated which oppressive measure to pursue next. And now, today, as I have watched the Supreme Court become tainted with a sexual predator, I have watched as you were told that none of your progress matters, that you are not trustworthy, valuable, or invited to the men’s conversation. I am lost, and I am asking you for more when you have already given all. I am America, and I need you to save me once again. -Kevin B Johnston
