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

#sayhername

I'm wondering about the changing of "her" to "their" - it seems to be an appropriation, at best, or a continuing of erasing womyn again. 

 #sayhername was created specifically because womyn have been/are being left out/erased as completely as their lives have been erased, womyn murdered by police, prison guards, 'security' officers. 

Most people cannot name three womyn who've been murdered. Even now - except in Louisville - Breonna Taylor has been mostly left out.
