Week One

I'm pretty excited to take part in volunteer work with Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. We met recently for the mandatory training, and I heard about the One Billion Rising rally against domestic violence against women. It's challenging to reconsider things I never noticed or took for granted. There is a lot to be said about the unjust ways that are accepted as normal or casual when it comes to these gender issues. Being honest with myself about these issues for the first time was eye opening. I came to feel that my lack of consideration has made me complicit. I'd say the complicity ended after my first meeting.
