A Grateful Step Forward
After her remarks on Rep. Yoho,
Rep AOC was joined on the House Floor by over a dozen colleagues who shared their experiences with sexism and called for change.
Please take care of each other
“We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us.
We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us.
We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us.”

Take the Sisterhood Pledge
It moves me to tears every time I watch it. Will you take this pledge with me?
I pledge to…
To cultivate sacred sisterhood, honoring myself, you, and all women.
I will take a stand for our rights, safety, well-being, and equality, ensuring you and I are both treated with kindness and respect.
I will support you in remembering your truth, seeing your gifts, beauty, and wisdom – connecting to your purpose and dreams.
I will value you and support you in valuing yourself through claiming your worth, wisdom, right compensation, self-care, boundaries, and needs.
I will honor that you and I have different ways of living, different beliefs, preferences, values and needs.
I am open to learn from our differences without making either of us wrong or bad.
I will honor and respect the wisdom and value of all phases of age, body shape, health, and abilities.
I will courageously speak up if I see relationship patterns or behaviors that harm your physical, mental, or emotional well-being, while also honoring your timing, journey and choices.
I am open to receive your feedback on my relationship patterns and habits, remaining humble that I may be resistant to seeing the truth, and I will check in with my inner guidance before I act.
I will cherish your secrets and personal shares in sacred confidentiality.
I will not spread gossip, rumors or perpetuate drama, say bad things about you to others, nor bad things about others to you.
I will use my words as a sacred creative tool to connect, protect, inspire, and illuminate.
I will be gentle and respectful when I share my reflections with you about things that don’t feel good to me or meet my needs, boundaries, or desires.
I will do my best to not disconnect, punish, blame, or push you away. When you are sharing your challenges with me I will seek to be fully present, to listen, to ask questions, and to confirm with you how you would like to be supported.
I will tune in with myself to ensure I am available to offer you the support you desire, and will not judge myself if I am not.
I will be courageous when I’m afraid to be vulnerable, I will breathe open my heart when I want to hide or shut down and trust my intuition to guide me how to share in a safe way.To cultivate sacred sisterhood, honoring myself, you, and all women.
I will reach out to you when I need it, accept if you are not available, and remember that I am not alone.
If I feel judgmental or triggered, I will let it reveal to me what wants to be healed in myself, opening to gratitude for the gift of insight and this opportunity to grow.
I give us both permission to be messy, to be in process, in transition, to stumble as we grow, to be wild, passionate, unleashed, and full of life.
I will not use your successes to make me feel small or create distance between us.
I will celebrate them and do my best to support you in living your dreams.
I will recognize the importance of sisterhood and create time in my life to nourish our connection and support you in thriving, knowing we are creating a better world for all together.
I want to live in a world touched by your radiant presence, unique gifts, and soul’s purpose.
I am your sister. I see you, I thank you, I love you.
The Ultimate Do Over
From one citizen to another, I beg of you: take a deep breath, ignore the deafening noise, and think deeply about what you want to put back into your life. This is our chance to define a new version of normal, a rare and truly sacred (yes, sacred) opportunity to get rid of the bullshit and to only bring back what works for us, what makes our lives richer, what makes our kids happier, what makes us truly proud. We get to Marie Kondo the shit out of it all. We care deeply about one another. That is clear. That can be seen in every supportive Facebook post, in every meal dropped off for a neighbor, in every Zoom birthday party. We are a good people. And as a good people, we want to define — on our own terms — what this country looks like in five, 10, 50 years. This is our chance to do that, the biggest one we have ever gotten. And the best one we’ll ever get.
Taken from an article written by Julio Vincent Gambuto for Medium.com entitled “Preparing for the Ultimate Gaslighting.” Certainly worth the read.
