I felt an absolute zing of electricity when I opened a message a few weeks ago asking if Shannon Watts could interview ME for her Substack Live series. Along with being a longtime fan of the incredible national movement Shannon has built for common sense gun laws with Moms Demand Action, I love her Substack . It’s all about prioritizing desires (especially around activism and social change) over social expectations.

On a beautiful early spring Saturday in March, I didn’t have much planned for myself and my 5-year-old twins, so I made an impromptu decision to take them to the farmers market.

I decided I was just going to enjoy the sunshine and consciously not look at my phone.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has,” Margaret MeadIn the days after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook School in 2012, as Moms Demand Action began to take shape online, my first instinct was to channel the energy of women and mothers—anger, shock, outrage—into offline marches and rallies. We began planning events in major cities and suburban and rural communities in late January.

“It is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world,” Mary OliverLast night, I tried to do things differently than in 2016 when I attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party at the Javits Center.

Just hours after President Joe Biden announced that he wasn’t running in 2024 and would, instead, endorse his Vice President, Kamala Harris, Black women were already working behind the scenes to map out the new electoral landscape and strategy for a win.
