This calendar year, we already know what one of the biggest stories will be: the elections for President of the United States. The first part of the year will focus on the Democratic Party primaries and caucuses, while much of the second half of the year will have campaigning for the election in November between the Democratic nominee and President Donald Trump.
For all my readers who live in the United States (which is most of my readers), I ask that you keep in mind issues such as economic justice, racial justice, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ issues, environmentalism, immigration, and more, as you consider which candidate to support. In other words, I hope my readers keep in mind the sorts of issues that I try to talk about here on a weekly basis.
Too often, these issues, and other issues relevant to those on the margins in American society, are not taken into consideration as much as they should be. The good news, however, is that every voting American has the power to change that in 2020.

women need to realize that we comprise a majority of voters. If we want something done we need to get our sisters, mother, aunts, cousins, daughters et al out to vote. Our lives depend upon it..this year more than ever!

Absolutely. That being said, I think that it’s not enough to vote, but it’s also important to try to better understand the experiences of women of color–the difference in voting splits between nonwhite women and white women was stark in 2016 (and even more stark, from what I recall, between nonwhite women and white men): https://time.com/5422644/trump-white-women-2016/
