Progressive Caucus Meeting 11.17.23 at 2023 CADEM Endorsing Convention

When I came home from the Democratic Convention on Sunday, Gil and I did not have time to talk about what happened or any of the details. 

But my life partner always has the questions and a bullshit-free perspective that I value so much. Many folks have never met Gil, and very few would have ever had any kind of conversation with him even if you have. The work I do with the community and in the organizing spaces is nearly always without my children or husband. It is during those times that my husband is holding down the fort, taking care of our children, and being the primary caregiver to ensure that they eat well, sleep well, and have a healthy and productive schedule as growing young men. 

I did want to share this story of the Protest that happened on Saturday afternoon and into the evening and Gil wanted to talk about it.

We took some time, before heading out to a birthday dinner for Gil's 51st. My husband has a direct line to the truth that is unmatched (except maybe for my other BFF).  By recording it and sharing with you all, I am hopeful that this peek into just how lucky I am and how fortunate our family is to know where we stand in the pursuit of peace and justice for all, is helpful. And, you get to hear my story as I'm beginning to piece (and peace) together ❤️.
