When do you remember becoming politically conscious and what was it that happened to make you so?
I have a few: 10 years old -in my friend’s dad’s Cadillac on the way back from their mountain cabin, the song “fly like an eagle” came on the radio. “Feed the children who don’t have enough to eat.. shoe the children...” that moment I wanted to help make those sad things go away.
My mom had this typewriter and she’s banging out paper after paper. I said what’s that? She said letters to help get people out who are imorisoned by their governments. She was volunteering for @amnes I was 10 or so.
Anita Hill in my early 20s watching men trash her while she tries to tell her story.
Thank you all for sharing these stories. I’m literally crying because it only takes being exposed and open to beginning to care and want to be part of a better future
