Our first post in 2016

BELOW is the first post when we built this website in 2016 after forming this group in 2015. Our group was strong and active through 2022 after Biden was in office, then slowly we stepped back.

NOW WE ARE FACING TRUMP 2.0 – AND, THUS, WE ARE BACK. 

This time our main organizing tool is our Facebook page. We all gravitated to the Facebook page as the votes were being counted and it was becoming clear that Trump won again. We held a couple of meetings to give each other comfort and begin to establish community. When we stepped back we had become an organized group under the national Indivisible 501C4 and that was maintained and is still the present financial organization.

We will be meeting with and supporting the state legislators who will fight for the protections we believe in. Even though we are not a partisan organization, there is no question that means we are supporting mostly state Democrats.

STAY TUNED TO OUR FACEBOOK GROUP FOR LOCAL EVENTS ETC.  We will post some information here, but this website will not be the primary and up-to-date tool it was back during Trump 1.0. Social media – mostly the Facebook page and the local Facebook group is where we will be giving up-to-date info.

OUR FIRST POST IN JANUARY 2016:

The time has come for women on Cape Cod to take the reins and responsibility for change. It is now 2016 and our Commonwealth has yet to pass Equal Pay legislation. Why? Well, there are few groups organized who are working on this important policy. There is a Mass Equal Pay Coalition, but while the bill languishes in the Massachusetts House and Senate Workforce Development Committees, very little updates are given on the coalition’s website’s first page. The most recent reported story is dated July 2015.

It’s time for regional groups to become active in this issue as well as other issues that have been ignored by a state that is known to be “blue” but often seems behind the times when it comes to equal rights for women and for addressing issues like women’s reproductive health, economic security, representation and so on.

Time for Cape-Codders to jump in and show support for fairness.

Let’s start with Equal Pay. And let’s start with how we can each do something to get this bill passed.

Stay tuned.
