Yes, this was an excellent post. I was also deeply moved by Kareem’s words, Linda. They strike close to home as aging takes its toll. Along those lines, this is the letter I sent 3 days ago to my younger friends and family members:

Yes, this was an excellent post. I was also deeply moved by Kareem’s words, Linda. They strike close to home as aging takes its toll. Along those lines, this is the letter I sent 3 days ago to my younger friends and family members:
Your time has come to take the reins of democracy. Though imperfect, it is the North Star of human accomplishment. The right to choose our own leadership and priorities is never given freely, it is earned.
The Democratic Party has decided, with Kamala Harris, to embrace the future and allow the past to do what it does best, remind us of what worked and what didn’t. How we adapt those lessons to the future is the important work ahead. I hope you will be part of this next great journey, even if your choices are different than mine.
The future will be perilous and rife with misinformation, the scourge of our modern media times. Social media doesn’t vet their information like traditional news organizations do, so facts and fiction are presented as the same. They are not, and we must sort them out. We are all still learning how to do this.
Some of the most exciting things I’ve done in my life have involved working together with others about larger issues that affect us all. Reproductive rights, voting rights, affordable health care, equal rights for women, people of color and gays have all been important to me. You can choose what’s important to you. Then find your people and work together with them.
Working together with others to achieve a larger goal, something beyond our own personal lives, is one of life’s most satisfying experiences. It often leads to unexpected friendships and opportunities.
A very short campaign season lies ahead and it will require energized volunteers who can ramp up quickly. You will be welcomed, it will be worth the effort. Now please get out there and help keep democracy alive!
