Pep talk: I’ve spent the past year feeling frustrated with what seem to be trade-offs that our elected officials are making between the recovery of our economy and women’s reproductive health, or between things like cost savings and college affordability. I don’t think those things should be trade-offs. Vote for someone who is going to upload all the things you agree with. That will lead to better outcomes for us all.

Pep talk: This past spring, I testified before the DC City Council…. It was so important that the person who listened to us understood the issue and cared about it. That’s one example of having someone in local government who cares about your issues and will act on them.
