It seems clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president this fall. Nevertheless, it is crucial to clarify how wrong-headed Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been so that the legacy she leaves does no more damage to a multi-racial, multi-class based feminism/womanism both here and abroad.

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.

Osayande. Brother Osayande, has a demonstrated track record of being consistently unapologetic and outspoken about challenging Black communities to address violence against women and girls, with the same vigilance that the Black community addresses state sanctioned violence against Black men and boys.

Wearing Red|Ending Violence Against Women of Color

April 28, 2008

Be Bold. Be Brave. Wear Red on Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Women 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.
