A friend gave me this book last night at Dunn Dems holiday party. I spoke with during my campaign and she deeply understands what it means to show-up in rural communities. I already recommend! Skip Amazon and order with Dotters Books (EC) or Pearl Street Books (LAX).

Stock buybacks are expected to reach $1 TRILLION this year.
News flash: They’re using inflation as cover to squeeze more money out of you.

As Sage, a student, said so well: "banning this book will erase a story that a transgender student such as myself could relate to."
Sign!
