DYKE MARCH!

SUMMER! The very best time to reclaim
our streets, our ports, our parks and OUR
tax money. Protest while we
celebrate, celebrate while we
challenge, challenge while we
sunbathe, sunbathe while we
fundraise, fundraise while we
party, party while we
make art, make art while we
keep this movement going
growing, flowing, making
CHANGE HAPPEN!

Check out photos from the War and Silence Panel, taken by Jay Jao, where I shared the mic with Helen Zia, Rick Godinez and Tram Nguyen. There are 3 pages of great images – click on a, b and c at the top of the page.


I recently came across these words by Benito Mussolini: “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power.” They reminded me that we confront and resist that merger each time we spend our money, time and energy in ways that affirm and celebrate all life on the planet. Please come out to the events below that affirm your vision of the world you want to live in.

In community,
Shailja
