For the forthcoming “Day Without a Woman” strike, it’s crucial to articulate our demands with clarity.
Reflecting on a pivotal moment from the 1992 presidential campaign, I remember how James Carville’s phrase, “The Economy, Stupid,” resonated with many Americans, encapsulating the concerns that drove voters. This sentiment came to mind when the organizers of the Women’s March announced March 8 as the date for “A Day Without a Woman.” It highlights the essential role women play in our society and economy. However, this administration, challenged by women in significant positions, might find the idea of a day without women quite appealing.
While I may not be part of the inner circle of the Women’s March leaders, I stand firm as a supporter, eager for a unifying call that transcends various divides. Recent events have shown us that the issue of Russian interference in our electoral process cannot be ignored.
Several credible reports from CNN have confirmed elements of an intelligence dossier tying President Trump to Russia, and the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn only adds to the urgency. New revelations about Russia’s violation of arms control agreements and contacts between Trump’s campaign aides and Russian intelligence further exacerbate the situation. Amidst all this, the president’s insistence of having “nothing to do with Russia” raises alarms.
Participants of the Women’s March and those planning to join the strike are united by pressing issues. It appears that this administration is indifferent to our concerns. To effect real change, we must establish a robust, collective front to address these challenges, and our movement should advocate for an investigation into these critical issues.
Public Sentiment on Russian Interference
The statistics reveal a shared desire among Americans:
- 68% believe the alleged Russian interference in our elections should be thoroughly investigated.
- 62% want an inquiry into ties between the president’s campaign team and Russian officials.
- 74% expect the president to disclose his tax returns.
These views cut across gender, race, and political lines and resonate deeply with our values of justice and transparency. Therefore, let’s articulate our key demands for the General Strike:
- We demand an immediate, bipartisan Congressional investigation into the president’s connections with Russia.
- We call on Congress to require the president to release his tax returns.
Prominent figures from both parties are expressing concern over the president’s ties to Russia. For instance, Senator John McCain has advocated for investigations into election hacking, while Senator Ron Wyden has proposed legislation for the president to disclose his financial dealings. Despite the public outcry surrounding Michael Flynn’s resignation and the potential Russian connections, Congress has yet to initiate a thorough investigation.
As citizens, we expect our elected officials to prioritize national security. The “Day Without a Woman” strike represents a pivotal opportunity to rally all patriots in government to safeguard our nation against both internal and external threats.
Twenty-five years ago, “The Economy, Stupid” captured the nation’s anxieties; today, those anxieties have shifted towards a different and more pressing concern: the influence of foreign powers on our democracy.
