                   Everything You Have to Give

We are in for a very, very long haul... 
 
I am asking for Everything you have to give

             We will never give up... 
   You will lose your Youth, your Sleep,
       your Patience, and your Sense of Humor
and occasionally… the understanding & support
         of people you Love very much.

In Return, I have nothing to offer you but…
 Your Pride in being a woman, and…
all the Dreams you ever had for your daughters,
 and nieces, and granddaughters…
 Your Future and the certain Knowledge that
       at the end of your days
 you will be able to look back and say that

Once in your life,
 you gave Everything you had
For Justice.

From a speech by Jill Ruckelshaus
National Women’s Political Caucus 1977, California Convention

 The National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) is a national bipartisan grassroots organization in the United States dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting women who seek elected and appointed offices.

NWPC was founded in 1971 by Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan, Myrlie Evers, several congresswomen, heads of national organizations, and others who shared the vision of gender equality including writer and journalist Letty Cottin Pogrebin. They established three main issues: reproductive freedom, affordable childcare, and passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Also important are addressing male–female income disparity in the United States and diversity at the decision-making levels.
