    “If I can’t vote, I can’t consent to be gove “If I can’t vote, I can’t consent to be governed.” Women’s Equality Day is a great day to remind us that the #ERA is yet to be adopted. Can you believe it’s 2020 and we still don’t have an amendment guaranteeing equal protection for all women in our Constitution. The founding fathers got this wrong and it’s taking us far too long to rectify this egregious mistake. Equality of opportunity should be a baseline for all. Please vote your power. #equalitycantwait @equalitynoworg #vote #womensrights #humanity ✌🏽🙏🏽 #Repost @equalitynoworg with @get_repost ・・・ Today, on #WomensEqualityDay in the U.S., inspired by @fixeditheadline, we've corrected the Declaration of Independence. Women's Equality Day marks the anniversary of the adoption of the #19thAmendment. Yet, 100 years later, women, especially women of color, are left behind in the fight for #equality in the U.S. We believe equality shouldn’t depend on the color of your skin, where you live, your beliefs, your sexual orientation or your gender identity. Every person, everywhere, has the right to be treated equally under the law. #FixedIt #Suffrage #EqualityforAll #equalitycantwait

    The fact that the #ERA is still not officially par The fact that the #ERA is still not officially part of our Constitution is yet another stain on our country. Equal protection under the law should not be a debate. @mrsam_fxonhulu - MRS. AMERICA: Sadly so much of the dialogue and events that transpired could be 2020. But the fact that it was the 70s and these women had the wherewithal to crush and break down the doors they did is remarkable. I am utterly and profoundly in awe of these women who blazed the trail. Mrs. America on HULU is compulsory watching for all. It's sophisticated, layered, and immensely entertaining. Every single performance was stellar but esp brilliant are Cate Blanchett, Uzo Aduba, and Margo Martindale. I remember meeting the force that is @gloriasteinem. I had butterflies for weeks knowing that I was giving a speech with her in the audience. When I met her I told her that I told my husband if he didn't get a good picture of us, I wouldn't sleep with him for a week. With a chuckle, she retorted, "a month, a month!" 😉😊 The hug and words she whispered to me after my speech are moments I will forever cherish. I get goosebumps thinking about it. Betty Freidan, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, Jill Ruckelshaus, and more- to the millions we've never heard of that paved the way in little and big ways and got SO MUCH SHIT, we owe you so much. Now go watch this with your family! @equalitynoworg #equality #womenempowerment #thefutureisfemale 💪🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
    My day started with my 2 littles jumping on me (in My day started with my 2 littles jumping on me (insanely early!) as they were so excited to give me their cards. ❤️ Then they said they would need them back after I was done reading as they really liked them. 😂This afternoon, my oldest slipped this note under my door where I was working. 😊 They've informed me there are many more surprises to come. 😉 Birthdays have always been a mixed bag for me. But no more. I am grateful for every day I get to keep at it. I spent way too much time thinking about the alternative this past year, and know how lucky I am. Thank you all for the love and wishes. #grateful #fuckcancer #birthdaygirl 🙏🏽❤️🤸🏽‍♀️
    It was 2005 and LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLI It was 2005 and LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD was supposed to premiere. But in light of events at the time, Sony told Albert (Brooks) they wouldn't release the film unless he took 'Muslim' out of the title. True story. He refused and Steve Bing had his back and took the film to Warner's who eventually released the film. This is just one of the many stories I have about Steve Bing. Yes, he financed the film and took us to Dubai on his private jet for the fabulous premiere. But it was the little things and thoughtfulness he would show that really struck me. Like when he and I did a talkback with an Islamic center when the movie was coming out- something he graciously made the time for. He and Albert genuinely cared about putting positive representation into the world, esp post 9/11. One of my favorite restaurants in LA is Crossroads and I would frequent it every time I was in town. What a delight to find Steve there almost every time (he was an investor). He was always kind to me, my family and any of my friends who were with me. He wanted me to email him and keep him updated on everything I was doing. He was a champion for so many and put his money where his heart was. I am stunned hearing the news of his death yesterday. I can't stop thinking about his kids. Friends, please reach out if you are struggling. There is love waiting to be given to you. 💔🙏🏽 #stevebing #albertbrooks #indiefilm
