I drew this when Charles Booker first ran for Senate and it still resonates for me. Politics to him means healing and uniting. I hear Maya Rupert (a national leader in progressive politics and campaigns) is in town taking meetings with him. I hope it’s true. We need his vision now more than ever.

Women who rise up, speak up and show up? Bless them. They’re called rebels, jezebels and worse, but I call them blessed. They’re badass! The struggles are intersectional, the forces they’re up against are institutional and societal… But they stand up to say something anyway. The change-makers! 🖤
