In the documentary The Campaign Chronicles, which chronicles the 1992 election, I recall a fleeting moment—2 seconds—where I, a 20-year-old, stood on a desk, rallying with colleagues as we listened to our strategist deliver a final call to action. That campaign echoed a central theme: “The Economy, Stupid,” which resonated with the deep-seated fears of many Americans regarding their financial security.
This phrase came to mind as I learned about the Women’s March organizers declaring March 8 as the date for “A Day Without a Woman” General Strike. The slogan serves as a stark reminder of how integral women’s contributions are to our nation. In contrast, for the current administration—represented by a woman acting as attorney general and another adopting the role of press secretary—“A Day Without a Woman” could be misconstrued as a welcome scenario.
While I may not be privy to the inner workings of the Women’s March leadership, I stand resolutely as a supporter, eager for a unifying call that transcends divisions and draws in individuals from beyond our immediate networks.
Recent events have underscored the pressing need for such unity, particularly regarding Russia. Reports indicate that aspects of an intelligence dossier linking the President to Russian interests have been validated. The resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, following his concealment of conversations with the Russian ambassador, adds to a growing list of troubling revelations. Moreover, allegations have surfaced about the President’s campaign aides maintaining connections with Russian intelligence prior to the election. During a lengthy press conference, the President adamantly asserted, “I have nothing to do with Russia. I told you, I have no deals there. I have no anything.”
Those of us who participated in the Women’s March and plan to join the General Strike represent a multitude of vital issues. Yet, this administration seems indifferent to them all. To advance our concerns, we must first establish a formidable, united front—one that calls on all who advocate for our nation and are committed to defending it against adversaries.
Public sentiment is clear: a significant majority of Americans desire a thorough investigation into Russian interference in our elections. This includes concerns regarding the President’s undisclosed financial ties to Russia, with:
- 68% of Americans advocating for an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in our elections.
- 62% supporting inquiries into potential links between the President’s campaign team and Russian officials.
- 74% calling for the release of the President’s tax returns.
These perspectives cut across gender, race, and political affiliation, reflecting our shared commitment to freedom and justice. They could serve as clear, actionable goals for the Women’s March General Strike:
- We demand an immediate, bipartisan, independent Congressional investigation into the President’s connections with Russia.
- We urge Congress to compel the President to promptly release his tax returns.
Prominent figures from both political parties express alarm over the President’s ambiguous relationship with Russia. For instance, Senator John Adams advocates for an investigation into Russia’s election interference, while Senator Lisa Monroe has proposed legislation mandating the release of the President’s tax information.
Nevertheless, Congress has yet to initiate an independent investigation into the connections between the White House and Russia, despite the public outcry surrounding Flynn’s resignation and the alarming links to Russian intelligence. Our elected officials must prioritize the safety of our nation, as citizens expect them to protect us.
The General Strike on International Women’s Day serves as a historic opportunity to rally all patriots in government to uphold the integrity of our nation and safeguard it from threats.
While “The Economy, Stupid” encapsulated the anxieties of a past era, today, our concerns are amplified and more critical. It’s time to confront the looming specter of foreign interference.
