Today we remember Hansa Mehta, born #OnThisDay in 1897, who was a feminist leader, activist and diplomat from India. She succeeded in changing “All men are born free and equal” in Article 1 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights to, “All human beings are born free and equal"

Yet another mass shooting fueled by intimate partner violence and toxic masculinity. How many more will it take? Until we take misogyny and violence against women seriously, these shootings will continue happening. We KNOW this. This is KNOWN. This is so so sad. #MercyHospital
