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

Journey For Justice Day 4: Last leg to Uvalde

Camilo lets us know that the families of Uvalde have filed suit against the 400 law enforcement agenices that did nothing to stop the murder of their children.

So it is more than egregious when we are told we are to have the sheriff's department of a small town, Carrizo Springs, just outside Ulvade escort us through the town. I'm livid and Marina is furious.

I post to the list, still attempting to be diplomatic with this group of mostly white, mostly recently-to-the-fight activists that "armed men make me uncomfortable and we protest the 'escort' and will skip it if it occurs".

Marina is indignant that here we are, going to meet with some of these parents, parents who have not 'only' have children who have been murdered, but are actually suing the law enforcement for not protecting their children that we are having 'protect' us with an escort us through town. She begs us to be more aware and sensitive and at the very least support these parents and community by NOT making nice with a sherrif's department that is protecting us yet failed to even try to protect their children

And lastly, we then pass through Crystal City where u.s. citizens of japanese decent were interned/imprisoned during world war II. When we post this information to the list, no one responds and we just continue to drive by, not making these connections. Tearz
