\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 After the Women\u2019s March I came back to Georgia and became a part of the Huddle network. A Huddle is a group of people who participated in the march \u2013 either in D.C. or locally \u2013 and who want to continue to stand, act, move, make a difference. We are the resistance.<\/p>\n

Our most recent effort is to elect Jon Ossoff to the 6th<\/sup> District. Hundreds and hundreds of women have shown up and worked their \u201cosses\u201d off. We have canvassed, phone banked, written personal letters and postcards to voters, and rallied on street corners trying to get out the vote. We showed up at Board of Election meetings and got early voting times and locations expanded. We showed up in courtrooms and for hearings before the Georgia Legislature.<\/p>\n

We showed up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The race is very close. I teeter between the real hope that Jon will be elected as a harbinger of change from our current \u2018leadership\u2019 and political direction. And in the deepest night I am afraid he will be defeated and the direction of our nation will continue to careen in the direction it is headed.<\/p>\n

But even in those moments I realize that what cannot<\/em> be stopped is a million women who refuse to give in or give up. A million women who continue to engage the system with intention and energy. Making change doesn\u2019t depend on this one election. It depends on every action of each one of us in all times and all places. No matter what happens tomorrow we have made our connections, found our strength, and will resist with every breath we take.<\/p>\n
