My ancestral history is like a 1,000-piece puzzle with half of the puzzle pieces missing.

In my family of four kids, my dyslexia made me the odd one out. I believed it was uncommon, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Recently, I’ve found hope in the work of a Jewish feminist icon whose pro-choice activism is awe-inspiring: Heather Booth.

Noa and her sisters pushed for something which, at the time, wasn’t recognized as an inherent right. Today, we need to do the same with broadband internet access.

On Shabbat, our Mexican American neighbors informed our largely Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of the results: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had won. 

Daniella Levine Cava, to whom I affectionately refer as “DLC,” made history during this election cycle.

Just as Mattel has expanded Barbie dolls to represent broader diversity, we as a society need to continue working towards equality and representation. Kamala Harris's election is a step in that direction.

Mollie Steimer dedicated her life to advocating for prisoners. Though we’ll likely never fully live up to her anarchist ideals, we can fight for radical solutions.

Electing a candidate who advocates for reproductive rights for all is just as essential as ensuring women are represented in government.

Matriarchal leadership is often portrayed negatively, like in the story of Lilith. My moms have proven to me that we need more of it.

I'm writing this note with a hopeful but heavy heart. In March 2020, I voted for the first time. I believed that this would be a tremendous year for women. 

 After looking into the achievements of her extensive career, I see that Bella Abzug is the perfect role model for activists just beginning in their work.

Just as Ruth First did in her work, contemporary feminist activists must prioritize maintaining a united, intersectional movement.

If tikkun olam is something that we believe in fully, then our work will not be complete until every student is empowered with an equitable education.

What does it mean to live in a country that purports secularity but considers Christianity to be the default?
