Why I’m Wearing Red Today

Stop Violence Against Women

Because I stand in solidarity with the strong, brave women who refuse to stay silent about the increasing violence perpetuated against women, particularly women of color.

Because Megan Williams case is, sadly, familiar to too many other women.

Because there is good in the world.

Because the beautiful ones will never go away.

I wear red today because I can. And I know that we, the anti-oppression activists and bloggers, shall overcome.

As BFP says, I must, I must, I must.
