Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for 88 days. Enough.
Together, as the reeling and sadness shifts to anger and desperation, these women are working overtime to mount a coordinated effort, to move in one seamless formation, and to convince everyone—anyone who will listen—that demanding the safe return of Griner is not a charity case, but a mandatory fight for a human life, and these women cannot do this alone.
What a privilege it is for those who’ve been able to carry on with their lives without feeling Griner’s loss. That privilege is a uniquely American one: Living in an individualistic country that places profit above people and politicians above progress means that we do not bleed for one another.
