One Response to “Write on Our Walls - Religious Freedom”

   I recently wrote a note to your ED, Dr. Sally, regarding a nonprofit that I work for that currently advocates for the freedom of religious expression within the US military. While many of us in the social justice world–I’ve been an activist, fundraiser and executive director for 25 years–don’t appreciate the military, I’ve come to see that this institution is about to change–and change dramatically. And today it is critically important that it be confronted about its willingness to be under the control of Dominionist, extremist, right-wing Christian crazies who want to keep control of this part of America, in no small part because of its ability to keep women in secondary statuses. I hope all people who love what Gage stood for then will do so today too as the Defense of Marriage Act, Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell and other idiocies fall. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is doing its part and doing with attention to how women are being treated, and we’d love to see as much positive noise as possible keep this progress moving forward. The language on your Religious Freedom page is spot-on with what is happening and with what needs to happen today in the armed forces and elsewhere! Thanks every woman who continues to fight for what is really right.

   My best,

   Allan
