there’s shame/pain in talking about what i went thru, but i'll say one thing with 100% certainty: we need more support for survivors healing from financial abuse.

my story: after years of trying, i finally broke free of a dark situation.
the impetus: out of the blue, a friend who knew wrote me a check for $10k: "treat it as a loan. but don't let $/logistics be the reason you stay.”
i never cashed the check. but i realized he was right.

Trump has tried to rip away health care benefits & protections for millions of women. In
the middle of a pandemic, Trump is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare,
which would allow insurers to deny women coverage because of pregnancy or pre-existing

Trump rolled back protections from discrimination/harassment in the workplace. He revoked the Obama-Biden Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order,

It’s that time again! Time to acquaint ourselves with the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. A platform is guiding principles of a party..goals, vision, mission, promise. Only one party has a platform for the next four years..Here is the #DemFuture vision for the next four years..1/12
The last 3.5 years has revealed , at tragic economic and human cost, the emptiness of the Republican Party’s “America First” foreign policy. Under President Trump, America stands alone. 2/12 #DemPartyPlatform
Friends and foes alike neither admire nor fear President Trump’s leadership—they dismiss and ridicule it. The Republican Party under President Trump has made America small—when we are a people called to do the greatest things.3/12 #DemPartyPlatform #DemocraticLeadership

@EricaforUSSen20 @ratifyeraOrg @EricaforUSSen20 employed the same Discharge Petition process first used by US Rep. Martha Griffiths in 1970 to force Congress to vote on the #ERA. Introduced in 1923, the #ERA bill was ignored for 47 years! That is 'til Rep. Griffith got fed up! 2/

#EqualityCantWait: 99 years after American women won the right to vote, the average full-time working woman still spends over 21 hours a week on housework bloom.bg/2zp2GPW
In 2019 we have:
✅Magical dishwashers
✅High-efficiency washing machines
✅Refrigerators that tell you when you’re running out of almond milk
How is it possible that women are spending the same amount of time on housework as they did in the 1900s? bloom.bg/2zp2GPW

⌛️ In 1900, a married employed woman put in about 27 hours a week, and in 2005 she did … about 27 hours bloom.bg/2zp2GPW
