Ralph Nad­er — Cit­i­zen Action: It’s Eas­i­er than We Think — Over­com­ing adver­si­ty alone is a tough road to hoe but when you act with oth­ers it’s not as dif­fi­cult. There is noth­ing like sol­i­dar­i­ty. There’s uni­ty and strength in num­bers. Most move­ments have very mod­est begin­nings. Take women’s rights. Eliz­a­beth Cady Stan­ton and a hand­ful of oth­er woman met in Seneca Falls in Upstate New York in 1848 to launch the women’s rights move­ment. The odds were against them. The naysay­ers were out in force with their patron­iz­ing com­ments such as: Why both­er? Don’t get involved. Get back to the kitchen. Yet those women and the many who fol­lowed them were able to achieve much. Strug­gles con­tin­ue. Today the #MeToo move­ment is chal­leng­ing patri­archy by call­ing out men for sex­u­al abuse and harass­ment and insist­ing on equal pay for equal work. Cit­i­zen action is eas­i­er then we think.
