  • Nigerian women writers speak. (i would just read the quotes and keep it moving if i were you. no offense to the author): Woman Power
  • An exhibit of artwork by Palestinian children in California has been cancelled due to the lobbying of pro-Israel organizations.

  • Amnesty International USA has an online petition for Troy Davis who is on death row for the murder of a police officer although there is evidence to suggest that he is innocent. Not sure if getting him off will be as easy as entering you email address online but it might be better than doing nothing: Don’t Let Georgia Kill Troy Davis
