“I just watched today’s Democracy Now! show. In it there is a segment about the 100 women we helped to send off from the York County, PA, prison last Tuesday 15 September on their long walk to D.C. You will see videos of the women marching and an excellent interview with one of the women direct from Washington, D.C. This is inspiring.”
