Im glad your reading this:) We can use as many support as possible.
We have started an initiative to help prevent as much suffering from the gulf of mexico oil spill as possible. They use hair to make hairbooms that soak and capture the oil.
For this I shaved my head and our pic could be in the newspaper if it has most votes.
So some have like 400 votes, I only have 50 so far

Here you can vote;

"We are a group of women in the Labour Movement fighting for Womens Liberation and Socialism. We see the two as inseparable. Women are not going to be liberated by an act of parliament, although this does not mean we do not fight to elect a Labour government committed to equal rights for women. But we do not think this is the way women will have true liberation, nor do we believe that the working class is white, heterosexual and male.

We cannot expect male members of parliament nor for that matter male revolutionaries to give us liberation.

"It is clear that having a forum to speak about things that are kept silent, about the daily violation of women's rights, to defend women who have nobody to stand up for them, to discuss and work to change the rules, laws, and decrees which dominate women's lives, to stop the emotional and moral harassment committed by society, to raise awareness about women's human rights, to give women the hope that our lives can be better, is more needed: a forum, a journal, an organisation, to show that women have something to say, to express our views, to have our voices heard: a forum to show that women

"This is the first year of Ladyfest Northwest here in Humboldt County California. So far we have a line-up of great artists and hope to be able to achieve the goals of ,#1, having a great time and seeing some great musical performances #2 providing some awesome workshops/demonstrations such as filmmaking, clothpad making, and stilt-walking, for example, and #3 to be able to donate some $ to local women's organizations, like Women for Shelter. Many of these plans are tentative and in the works and much of it's success depends on people who care about these issues to get involved.
