Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

ABOLISH fuckin prison

I prob shldn't weigh in on political parties as I believe womyn simply need to rise up and take over - and men need to step back and figure out how to follow our direction.

Given our present unleashing of righteous rage across the country, I think this is the time (as always) to become accomplices and embrace direct action - our goal should be to dismantle the systems that have been put in place from the very beginning of this country to ensure this is a land for white people's advantages at the exploitation of womyn (including white womyn), as well as men of color and impoverished people.

As a child, tween probably, I used to read books about people on horseback breaking into prisons to liberate those incarcerated and fantasize that I was going to be one of those people when I grew up - the liberator, not the incarcerated...hmmmm Of course, that is literally impossible now, as prisons have figured out how to almost eliminate escapes. Then here appears a unique action to dismantle a portion of the prison industrial complex.
