Licensing Success
Submitted by marsha on Sat, 08/08/2009 - 3:45pmDear Friends,
This is how equality can be brought out of the confusion within bureaucratic systems:
By working together with unfailing respect for each other – and giving this same respect to the other side of the system for as long as those representatives show honest commitment to the work.
By recognizing the particular skills of each participant, and by never quitting the process, even when to keep going means working without recognition or praise.
By calling every skill and every idea into the work.
And we have succeeded! The issue today is the advance in Washington State’s Driver’s License Policy regarding changing gender markers. The unworkable birth certificate approach has been abandoned, and the new Policy is much closer to the great goal of a policy that truly improves lives while also meeting governmental needs.
