We Can’t Stay Silent Any Longer

Parents excel at a multitude of things: juggling multiple tasks, stealthily unwrapping candy bars without alerting the kids, and pretending to be fascinated by lengthy tales about Minecraft and Pokémon Go.

But let’s face it, we’re also champions of worry. We fret over the little stuff, like whether that homework has been turned in, and if they’re consuming enough broccoli. And then there are the bigger concerns—are our children healthy and happy? Do they have friends to sit with at lunchtime? We’re anxious about the world they inhabit and the countless ways their innocent spirits might be tarnished. Money, bills, and finding time for homework between soccer practices and piano lessons? Yep, that’s another layer of parental worry.

I worry. You worry. We all do. That’s the parental gig. But recently, it’s morphed from worry into sheer terror and exhaustion.

Watching the news and reading political commentary has left me feeling absolutely terrified. The vitriol that spills from the mouths of certain leaders and their supporters is overwhelming. When do we finally say “enough”? This isn’t who we are as Americans. As human beings, we deserve better than a person who mocks the disabled, veterans, grieving families, and children. We deserve better than the fabrications and the inflammatory rhetoric. We should be better than the hate and violence we’ve witnessed at political rallies. This has to stop!

The brand of disdain and disrespect permeating our society is alarming. If you’re a Republican, I’m sorry, but let’s be honest: you don’t have a candidate in this election. The platforms and policies being pushed don’t reflect true Republican values. What you hear on certain news outlets is far from factual.

Sure, reasonable folks can disagree on policies, but the current discourse is devoid of reason, logic, or morality. The reality is that we can’t allow this to continue. If we don’t stand up and confront the madness, how can we expect to stop the tide of hatred? If the quiet, compassionate individuals among us remain passive, how can we drown out the loud, angry voices of fear and bigotry? If we don’t rise up, how can we demonstrate that we are better than a nation that elects a hateful figurehead?

I’m tired of worrying, scared, and absolutely fed up. And guess what? You probably feel the same way. It’s time to stop being passive and start raising our voices. I know that being vocal—especially in political matters—can feel uncomfortable. The world is chaotic, and you crave calm; you prefer to avoid drama and conflict. I understand. I’m a reserved person too. Normally, I’d agree with the desire to stay quiet and civil. But these aren’t normal times!

This election is too crucial, and so are you. Your insights matter. Your voice deserves to be heard. We didn’t leave our intellect behind when we became parents. Generations of women fought fiercely for the rights we now enjoy, and we owe it to them—and to our children—to raise our voices in protest. We will not be absent. We will not be silenced. We will not be quiet.

This election isn’t merely a battle between political parties; it’s a fight for the heart and soul of our country. It’s about the future we’re shaping for our kids, whether it will be one that embraces love and respect or one that succumbs to greed and hate. These are not just political issues, but parenting issues.

I’m fed up with the sexist slurs and conspiracy theories. I’m tired of hearing about emails and whether a candidate smiles enough instead of discussing real issues. The rancid atmosphere that has been fostered by hate is unacceptable.

As much as I would like to retreat into silence, I find I can’t. I must stand up and shout “Enough!” And so do you. The stakes are too high. We quiet types cannot afford to stay silent any longer. We are better than this.

Let’s show up, rise up, and speak up, joining together in a resounding chorus declaring, “I’m with her!”
