Post 2016 Election Reflection & the Future! on Vimeo.
In the aftermath of Election 2016, Pam Elam sent this message to friends and associates. She quotes Susan B. Anthony, who of all people understood the struggle for equality and what women were up against. Many of us know Pam because of her tireless work in support of a women’s statue in Central Park of New York City. Check out her web site.
Pam sent the following quote by Susan B. Anthony (1870) to sisters and friends:
“So while I do not pray for anybody or any party to commit outrages, still I do pray, and that earnestly and constantly, for some terrific shock to startle the women of this nation into a self-respect which will compel them to see the abject degradation of their present position; which will force them to break their yoke of bondage, and give them faith in themselves; which will make them proclaim their allegiance to women first; which will enable them to see that man can no more feel, speak or act for woman than could the old slaveholder for his slave. The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it. O, to compel them to see and feel, and to give them the courage and conscience to speak and act for their own freedom, though they face the scorn and contempt of all the world for doing it.”
In Sisterhood, Pam Elam
