Healing a Sick Culture

These are trying times, times that try the hearts and souls of women and some men. I think perspective is important. Blame, name-calling and excuses are not productive.

We must make this right, not just for women but for society. We see you, we hear you and we believe you. We want to heal, together. It is not easy or simple but it is critical.
