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

Migrant deaths in Baltimore

The six workerrs repairing the bridge on I695 were all migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico - all with wives and children, seeking a better life here, willing to work a job that's dangerous and low-paid, without seeking getting hit by a freighter.

It's the 'free' route around Baltimore that I usually take when in D.C. heading north, or from Philly, heading south.

My heart goes out to those men and their families.

Not only do migrants increase our country's wealth by 7 trillion dollars, they often take dangerous, low-paying, long hours jobs.
