The Mission & Vision of the Woman's March on Washington is, "We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families - recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country." My neighbor, Sarah challenges the movement to be honest about what their movement is; namely, a liberal narrow one...
She says, "Peaceful protests in all their hysteria are a great exercise of freedom and do bring attention to causes, but let's not pretend like they usually cross any divides. **It is not rare or impressive for like-minded people to come together.**
What IS remarkable and worth celebrating is when people with opposite strong views can be friends, can refrain from shaming one another, have intelligent discussions about our differences, effectively express why we believe what we do, act civilly and decent about it, and come up with solutions together. We wouldn't be in this mess if more of that was happening.
Women's March: "women's rights are human rights!" (But the unborn don't count)
"Unity!" (for only those who agree with 100% of their agenda)
My values, along with a large percentage of other Americans, were NOT represented today. This movement was not about unification among ALL women. It is about the advancement of a very liberal agenda, and that's fine, but call it what it is."
What do you think?
