Wash.
Dry.
Fold.
Repeat.
​Laundry is a homemaking task where the work is never done. This work, although not glamorous, is essential to sustain our lives. So much of the work we do together to build and support our communities is unseen and unheard. It takes time for cultures, policies, laws, and institutions to change.
Storytelling allows us to give voice to our unique experiences, take ownership of our narratives, heal, and foster deep connection with others. When we share our stories and labor in this work together, we know our value and find and share our strength.​
Since 2018, Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry offered an empowering space for more than 400 women to share their stories and experiences and join them together on the laundry clothesline. Andrea's dear friend, Lynnsy Logue oftentimes referred to the clothesline as the "lifeline" that weaves us and our stories together.
The Laundry Line can be part of our powerful act of resistance at a time that feels dark, threatening, and regressive, and perhaps the greatest expression of care and love for our communities. The president-elect and the people in our country who stand with him plan to further strip away our freedoms, rights, and liberties. They promise a path of destruction that will cause even deeper harm. It is easy for us to get caught up in feeling as though we have to defend everything all at once. And, we have agency over how we respond and where we put our heart and energy as we move forward.
​
We are not alone.
We are beautiful.
We all have a story to tell.
