Women's Lives Improved!

Hopefully you've heard the good news by now - yesterday, because of your fast-acting calls and emails sent to Congress during the final moments before a critical vote on women's human rights, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to make the U.S. Office for Global Women's Issues permanent.

This major victory just proves that when you speak up for human rights, the people in power do listen. It may have taken us a lot of effort to seal the deal, but today, the fight seems well worth it. Because of you, the doors are now opened for major advancements in combating violence against women and improving women's health care, education, and economic stability.

Thank you for taking action to help empower women worldwide! We'll continue to keep you posted as the bill moves on to the Senate before finally landing on President Obama's desk.

In Solidarity,

Katie, Betsy, Chris, Meredith and the rest of the Stop Violence Against Women Campaign team

Musings

	"When humans - after all, still a young species - drop our adolescent arrogance of thinking we know it all and learn from the wisdom in our planet's accumulated experience of living systems design, we too will mature as a species. When we learn to see the advantage of co-operation we will be able to give up competitive juvenile hostilities. It's not too late to remodel our engineered institutions into healthy, living systems." - Elisabet Sahtouris "The earth does not belong to us we belong to the earth." - Chief Seattle "...beneath the skin, beyond the differing features and into the true heart of being, fundamentally, we are more alike, my friend, than we are unalike. --Maya Angelou
