IN OUR AMERICA...

DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED

We love our neighbor and her sign.

The other week, we were driving to the hardware store, after just loading the car with roughly $100 with of fresh starter litter, cat food and other items to help a family foster a stray cat.

We turned the corner just 2 blocks from our house and saw the Meow Mobile – the Cat Network’s mobile spay/neuter clinic.

We stopped in our tracks and offered to donate the items.

The woman who took them said to help her lug them to her porch next door.

We didn’t recognize her, but turns out she’s a long-time resident who volunteers with Cat Network and brings their mobile clinic to our Shenandoah neighborhood many times per year.

When we got to her house, we saw the most wonderful flag that embraces diversity.
It even specifically spells out respect for disabilities.

We often feel that somehow disability is left off far too many lists of diversity that make this nation great.

So it's great to see disability embraced – despite the fascist efforts of #45 and the current right wing GOP.

The sign comes from Nasty Women Get Shit Done – a Portland group of progressives resisting the currently oppressive insane person in the White House.

Check them out, you can even order a yard sign like the one in the picture on this blog post.
