“He’s a feminist,” Meghan said of Harry‘s response to the news. “His reaction last week was guttural, like mine.”
“Men need to be vocal in this moment and beyond because these are decisions that affect relationships, families and communities at large,” she continued. “They may target women, but the consequences impact all of us. My husband and I talked about that a lot over the past few days.”
She went on to say that while she knows people feel defeated in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision, she sees the importance of keeping up the fight.
“I know that for so many women right now, there is a sentiment of despair. But again, we have to band together and not wallow. We have to do the work,” Meghan said.
“This moment requires unity – really listening to people, understanding the Constitution was written at a time when women were second-class citizens. We’re not,” she continued, acknowledging the work women like Gloria have been doing for decades. “Certain things need to change. I’m grateful that I’m holding a baton right there next to her and that we will continue to be doing this work together.”
She added, “I always look at things with the undercurrent of hope. If you are someone who truly believes that there can be something better, if you’re someone who sees injustice, you have a choice: you can sit there and be complacent and watch it, or you can say, ‘What can I do to get us to the other side of this?’”
