Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up
I've mentioned before that the process of becoming a mother informed my political activism. I was opinionated before, but felt that my voice didn't particularly matter. But having a child changed me. Simultaneously, it felt like I finally belonged to this world and that it wasn't about me any longer. I viewed everything through the lens of the legacy I was leaving my children. I felt compelled to make my voice known. In short, everything changed for me, even how I processed love songs I heard on the radio. There is nothing more primal, more unconditional than the love I have for my kids. So this is my vow to my beautiful, intelligent, powerful daughters: I won't give up. I will not stop fighting to prevent these heinous, ignorant violations of their rights as fully sentient human beings to make decisions and choices for their own lives and bodies. It doesn't appear to interest any of the Sunday shows, this assault on women's bodies and intelligence. But I don't care. I won't give up. And I don't want to see any of you giving up either.
