Regardless of the election results, we need to strategize. We need to prevent Project 2025 from becoming policy. We need to pay attention to local elections. We need to rely on community. We need to take care of each other. We have to protect ourselves and the most vulnerable.

Kamala Harris is a force of nature. That’s why she scares them. “Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?"
