We Care About Our Children's Futures
My sisters and I are going to Washington from Oklahoma because we care: we care about our grandsons who live below the poverty level and depend on Medicaid for their health needs; we care about our adopted son who is serving an excessively long sentence along with more men and women in prison here than any where else in the world; we care about our daughters and granddaughters who are vulnerable to sexual assault; we care about our neighbors who depend on Medicare and social security for their livelihoods; we care about our world; we care about our children's future; we care about our freedoms of speech and especially the freedom to be informed by an independent press and our freedom to assemble; we care about both Israel and Palestine; we care and so we match. — Three sisters in their 60s from Oklahoma.
