Dame's Eye View

The activists are restless -- there are rumbles of protests, against the war, about Darfur, in honor of mothers who have lost their children to the fiasco in Iraq, the list goes on. I love this new activist tool called VolunteerForChange. You can see all the different protests and get involved, or just show up.

In New York there will be an anti-war protest on Saturday. On Sunday, there's a protest about Darfur in D.C.


On Mother's Day, there's a vigil in front of the White House to bring home the tragic point that these mothers are without their children because of a senseless war.

Instead of becoming innured to the violence in the world, I am heartened to see that people of conscience are speaking out.
