Dear Oklahoma Legislator:

I, along with 100 female attorneys, will be coming to see you Monday. I am asking to meet with you and discuss a resolution to this educational funding nightmare. I feel like we can help you, collectively, come up with a resolution. But let’s be clear. There WILL be change. And it WILL be for the better for our children. As Nelson Mandela once said “there can be no keener revelation of a society's soul that the way in which it treats its children." Let me be clear about one thing, we need change. And you will do it, or you have my word.... one of the 100 women by my side will file for your seat.... and we will do it for you. I prefer to work with you. It’s your choice if you will work with me.

Sincerely -
Becki A. Murphy

"I can't buy that there is no solution," she said. "We have to figure out how to fill in the gap. We will propose change and help draft legislation that creates change for everyone. Teachers have done everything to get the attention of legislators, and it hasn't worked. I get it. I'm 100 percent behind them."

Women all over the country are empowered and emboldened to challenge Republicans and demand equal justice. What the brave women in Oklahoma are doing will become pure power at the voting booth.
