Mayor Lily Wu, Public Servant

"All of us have been working in silos. Now it is time to collaborate." -Mayor Wu Politics is not about Leadership. It is the misguided pursuit and side-tracting element of percieved power. It leads to squadered opportunities. Public Service is about Leadeship. Lily Wu is a Public Servant. And leadership is a requirement of all capable people for a community to thrive. Lets not confuse a loud voice with a willingness to solve a problem. Problem solving takes work and communication. Screaming about an issue to draw attention is what a toddler does after dropping their Binky. Doing the work is "taking ownership of your neighborhood," Mayor Wu affirms, "I want to elevate that." Wichita is elevated with the Leadership of Mayor Wu. She works for Wichitans through communication every day. Face-to-face and event-to-event; Lily serves the people. Solutions to problems take action. Lliy Wu is taking action on Crime, public safety, Wichita streets and Economic Development. I thank Mayor Wu for her active Leadership. Wichita is winning.

Could One Phone Call Lead to the 28th Amendment?

The episode discusses the potential for President Biden to advance women's rights by supporting the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Despite passing both the House and Senate in the 1970s, the ERA has faced opposition and legal challenges that hinder its ratification. Current political dynamics, especially the implications of the recent Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, heighten calls for its recognition as the 28th Amendment. Democrats argue that it provides essential protections for women, particularly regarding reproductive rights, urging Biden to take action despite potential Republican pushback.

The struggle for the Equal Rights Amendment illustrates the complex dynamics of gender equality in the U.S. and the resistance faced by women activists throughout history.
The urgency to ratify the ERA has intensified in light of recent changes in reproductive rights laws, showing how the fight for women's equality is connected to broader political issues.
