2011

Let us work so that in 2011 women have true equality.

-all women need access to total reproductive health care including female service members and family members, they should have access to all reproductive health care options on base;

-women's work should not be under- or de-valued...women's pay should be equal to men's pay for comparable jobs;

-we need men to step up to the plate at home--housework, child- and elder-care; if women were not doing 2nd and 3rd shifts of work, they might have more time to get involved politically because

- we need more women need to be in the pipeline for political candidacies;

-we need affordable, reliable and available more than just 9-6 child- and elder-care;

- we need affordable public transportation and housing; ALL issues are Women's issues!



Happy New Year! We have a lot of work ahead of us in 2011. . .
