Open Letter To RL Winners: Our Own Thanksgiving is NO Turkey

Dear Newly Elected Women,

Thank you.
For being the best and the brightest ☀
For fighting hard. 👊
For having that extra thick skin.
For putting on heels when your feet killed you. 👠
For the lipstick and blowouts.💄
For giving up months of your personal life.
For not saying “f&!? you” all the times you wanted to. 🤬
For being a badass in your own way.
And for winning. 💪
We thank you, Honorable.
For winning.
And making history.
We may not be able to tally votes, but we know how to elect progressive women to office.
57 wins this election-cycle. 🎉
And this is only the beginning.
If you are feeling thankful and generous, donate anything you can here.
Here we come 2019 and 2020,

Pamela Goodman
President/CEO, Ruth’s List FL
