Farewell To Change.org

Dear Change.org readers,

Over the past year and a half, I have had an amazing experience writing for the Women's Rights Blog at Change.org. Your commentary, feedback, stories, and passion have inspired me to take on a much bigger role in the feminist movement beyond just being a "blogger." Writing down the present history of the women's rights movement, illuminating areas of injustice, and demanding change has been more than a fulfilling experience for me.

I also feel that my time here demonstrates that young women's voices are necessary in the fight for gender equality here in the United States and abroad. We are the future and we can't sit down, shut up, or avoid the changes, good and bad, that are happening around us.

Therefore, it is with much sadness that I share with you all that I will no longer be blogging with Change.org. Due to added responsibilities at my full-time job, I feel the need to streamline my efforts and focus on my current career demands. This is not an easy choice to make, but it is one that needs to be done at this time. I leave the blog in the hands of future writers and current editor, Alex DiBranco.

As one of my modern heroines in the women's right movement, Zainab Salbi, once said, "As we make this world a better place, may we also dance and enjoy the process."

I plan to continue to be a voice for the women's rights movement and advocate for positive social change -- and most of all, I plan to keep dancing.

Love,

Jen
