ELECTION INSPIRATION

Two uplifting Music Films to accompany you while you are working for your candidates.  As Michelle Obama directed us: ”Just Do Something” in this Election Season

Kay Weaver and Martha Wheelock began work on their Music Film, ONE FINE DAY, in 1983. When Geraldine Ferraro was nominated for Vice President in 1984, Kay and Martha added images of the nominee to their production in progress and used the film, in part, to promote Ferraro’s campaign.  ONE FINE DAY was made to bring Women’s History into schools and public spaces. To Make Women and their accomplishments More Visible!

In our screenings, women wept and cheered. It became more than just a film—it was a personal mantra, an ode to encouragement. Women love to celebrate their foremothers and to acknowledge their impact on our lives.

As Kamala Harris said when she became our Vice President in 2020:  “All the heroic and ambitious women before me, whose sacrifice, determination, and resilience make my presence here today even possible.”

After honoring our foremothers, Kay and Martha felt that the artistic endeavor was not complete until they had also saluted the lives of everyday women and the progress made since Women Won the Vote in 1920. Please note that TAKE THE POWER was made in 1987, so there have been more advancements.  Even though today, 59% of college students are women, 53% of the electorate are women, and women make up 40% of doctors and 45% of lawyers, there’s more to do.  Only 150 women—just 28%—serve in the U.S. Congress. We must continue to advance, inspired by those who came before us.
