“I think we really need a movement to drive how popular culture understands the issues that feminists care about.”

Everyday people and everyday acts of courage eventually change everything.

It’s precisely the people who are considered the least ‘likely’ leaders who end up inspiring others the most.

Movements of people create change – not just any one person or organization, but when lots of people are in motion around a shared vision.

Living longer is about loving longer, learning longer, teaching longer, connecting longer.

One thing I’ve learned, in the face of all kinds of indignities, domestic workers take so much pride in their work and love the children they care for.

We [women] are the majority of the population, majority of the electorate, majority of the workforce… and yet we’re still doing majority of family unpaid or low paid labor.

When I think about the LGBT movement for example, they have had a really intentional strategy to try to change images and representation of LGBT people in the media and the culture.

So many things that are fundamental to a healthy democracy, are under attack. So I think, in general we’ve got a lot of work to do.

And valuing that which has been taken for granted is something that I’ve always instinctually known is the key to the kind of society I want to live in and raise my children in.

And we live longer. Our stuff is not “special interest” stuff. Our stuff is the stuff of the future, of the whole.

If we figure out the supports and infrastructure to make all of that possible – and it is completely within reach.

I’ve always believed it’s important to make the invisible visible.

Domestic employees are at the whim of their employers.

An economy that we need that works for everyone. Where everyone works, everyone counts and everyone contributes.

Everything that we believe in and count on is really in question right now. Our safety net, public education, housing, health care.

It really moved the dial politically. That’s what is needed in the women’s movement – a strategy that can drive awareness and culture change.

There is no issue that one cannot overcome. All problems have a solution!

I have, like, sensory overload problems.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.

It is a mistake to suppose that the whole issue is how to free man. The issue is to improve the way in which he is controlled.

It’s important to be honest with and respectful of each other and deal with issues as they arrive, as opposed to letting them simmer.

Democracy doesn’t work unless people are well informed, and I don’t know that we are. People just don’t have the time. Most people’s daily lives are just about surviving. Most people don’t have time to really study crucial issues.

The issues in America are so big, and the problems are enormously complicated. But I am incredibly confident in Donald Trump to be able to execute on his promise to the people who elected him.

I think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard. In some cases, it’s through protest and it’s through going on the nightly news and talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree with. Other times it is quietly and directly and candidly.
