weekly check in
In an historic election that moved so many to feel hope for progressive change, there was some regression too. California voted yes to something called proposition 8 which is a step backwards on the civil rights front. As Mother Jones puts it, “It's a stunning thing to acknowledge. On the same day we culminated a civil rights struggle that spans our nation's entire history by electing the first African-American president of the United States, California voters revoked the right of some citizens of their state to marry the people they love, and nullified the bonds of some who already had.” Let us know what you think by submitting a blog post on ChangeEverything.ca
