Election '24–Women

Former First Lady Michelle Obama implored men to vote in favor of women's reproductive rights by voting for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. A second Trump administration would be dire for American women, she told a rally in Michigan on Oct. 26. And while she acknowledged the anger that many Americans feel about the “slow pace of change” in the country, she warned: “If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women, will become collateral damage to your rage.” Do you feel the gravity of the Nov. 5 election? Write about it!
