Women Say No to War… and Genocide.

Just got a breaking news email from Code Pink:
“Following a very successful event Sunday in NYC, the Iraqi women finished their press conference in the UN just in time to watch their friends, Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin be dragged off by cops and jailed for trying to deliver the truth. The week of International Women’s Day has begun.”
Dana Reeves, actress and widow of Superman actor Christopher Reeve, has died from lung cancer This particularly strikes me because a) she never smoked, and b) I saw her speak with John Kerry at the Columbus Atheneum in October 2004, she was advocating stem cell research…
You may have seen the horrible situation in Darfur, Sudan featured on last week’s episode of ER. I’m very glad they acknowledged what’s going on, but pretty disappointed that they gave no action steps for what to do after the show was over.So I’d like to direct readers to a great site, www.SaveDarfur.org, they have a great action page and plenty of information on the genocide in case you’d like to learn more. This is Rwanda in 2006, by now we should have learned from our mistakes, speak up NOW.
