The working poor women of this country have been asking for help for decades. If I have "privilege" or a voice I will shine a light on them.

A lot of activists shook their heads and said yeah #Equalpay . Yeah, that sucks. No. It's devastating 2 poor women. It is DISCRIMINATION.

The #ERA was never passed.94% think it was, Women are left with a patchwork of leaders who believe in things like "legitimate rape".

.When people say that #Equalpay will devastate the economy they are so far off the mark.The money women make will go back into this economy.

My children are not living below the poverty line. That does't mean I don't care about the kids who are. DO YOU? Then help their moms.
