I decided to make a blog after all. This post is just a brief introduction as to what the blog will feature.
My name is Rene and I also admin the "save the Texas women's healthcare program" facebook and twitter. I am also the Texas graduate student that started two petitions. One to save the women's healthcare program and one to get the public hearing so the public would have a chance to voice their opinions about the ruling to ban planned parenthood from acting as a provider to WHP patients.
Everything posted to this blog will be by me, or I may feature guest bloggers from within the state. I am also open to having my blog posts posted on other websites, just contact me so I can give you permission and also share it with readers.
The name of this blog is from the first petition I started. I listed the creator name as Rainy Dai. I wanted to use an alias at first and remember a cool name a friend gave me at work "Rainy". I found it inspiring because of the old expression that you save the best things for a rainy day or to help you in times of trouble. We are having a few "rainy days" in Texas and its our call to step up to the plate and fight for our rights as women, as citizens, as humans. "Rainy Dai" is also a character I am using in my fictional writing.
This blog will be dedicated to women's healthcare issues in Texas, however it will also feature national women's healthcare news that affects us all, and other women's related legislation like fair pay and violence against women issues.
Thank you for reading. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone that's been fighting alongside me, be it that you share a petition, shared a news story, or even told a friend about what's happening here in Texas. We are in this together.
