Hillary Clinton Defines Gender As White
It seems clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president this fall.

The Hidden Wounds of War
May 16, 2008
The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (CCCO) is pleased to announce our new counter-military recruitment brochure:
The Hidden Wounds of War
There are now 1.5 million troops who have served in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, including a growing number of women. Over 26,000 troops who have served in either place have been physically wounded. There are substantially more veterans from other wars who are still struggling with returning to their lives back home and trying to pick up where they left off. While some have received a hero’s welcome, more are going through the day to day challenges of dealing with the hidden injuries of war.

Wear Red on Wednesday, April 30, 2008Women of color cannot and should not wait to keep a social movement alive that is in defense of ourselves and our daughters. History and contemporary reality has consistently shown all of us that hardly anyone will speak on behalf of us, in defense of us, and/or for us but ourselves. It is based on this, that I made NO! The Rape Documentary. In the Spirit of so many Diasporic African, Latin, Asian, Indigienous, Arab, Pacific Islander women, my Sistren at Document the Silence have organized their second national campaign to raise awareness around the various forms of violence against women of Color. Toni Brown Memorial ServiceApril 25, 2008 I am deeply saddened to share that Toni Brown, a prolific Black lesbian poet and short fiction writer based in Philadelphia made her physical transition on April 19, 2008.

I had the privilege of knowing her and crisscrossing paths with her since the mid-90s.
