Fall will be upon us soon and I shud- der at what is coming after that. But that's what living in the Great Northeast is all about. e election is bearing down us. It is only a short 2 months away now. Don't forget to vote. ere is way too much at stake this year to let a wholly unqualified candidate like Donald Trump win the Presidency. I cringe at the thought. Many of us still live in states with antiquated election laws that do not allow for early voting. Some- day we'll come into the 21st cen- tury. If you do live in a more pro- gressive state where early voting is allowed, and the GOP has not passed horrendous voter suppres- sion laws, then get those ballots back and vote BLUE. It is impor- tant that Democratic candidates are elected all throughout the country. We need to take it back from this horrific GOP that knows nothing about governing. Moving on, this month I am hon- ored to have a queer ally as the feature guest interview. Jani Allan joins us this month and she has a great story. I hope you enjoy what she has to say. She gives a voice to the voiceless through her work and writings. She has a most adorable little doggy too. is month's issue is also packed full with great information and thought provoking articles, such as David-Elijah Nahmod's PTSD Memoir, Lee Lynch's Amazon Trail, and Tony Guadagnino's monthly article. Diversity Rules Magazine welcomes Tonia Snell's guest fea- ture dealing with Workplace Di- versity. I hope you enjoy the issue and spread the word about us.
