I've been working to make money. I am tired. This is why I will leave two hopeful events here instead of writing because I have no energy at the moment. I only have enough energy to longingly wait for summertime to come in a future city-home. If you haven't heard, there is no summer here. San Francisco is a city without a summer.
Hopeful thing #1:
Mass feminist demonstrations in Italy have returned to the streets and piazzas thirty years after their earlier wave - taking on Berlusconi and Benedict to defend abortion rights and fight social regression. In Milan, on 14 January 2006, some 250,000 demonstrators, mainly women, took to the streets, to defend law 194, the 1978 law decriminalising abortion, and the principle of women's reproductive, social and economic self-determination.
Hopeful thing #2:
Chicago IL - Upwards of 200,000 people marched through downtown Chicago, March 10, chanting, "Si, se puede!," meaning, "Yes we can!" defeat the Sensenbrenner bill. This legislation, HR (House Resolution) 4437, was passed in December by the U.S. House of Representatives and looks ready to move quickly through the Senate. If passed, it would make it a crime for organizations or individuals to assist undocumented immigrants.
