I would say that this is what will end up happening. Sometimes when people get hit with a cut, yes, there is discouragement. But people also see a greater goal here, and people will come back together. We're not going to give up, for example, the fight for a universally accessible, affordable child care system in this country until we get it. Women's organizations aren't going to back out on advocating for women's equality. It will be done under an atmosphere of oppression, of what we have to fight against, instead of what we're fighting for.
