Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

For those who don’t know
me but are new here, I’m the author of 29 books. My newest, BY ANY OTHER NAME, is about how women have been judged differently from
men for over 400 years. (Sound familiar??) Oh, and my novel NINETEEN MINUTES is THE most banned book in America right now. 🎉
