egypt -- power to the people




the protestors in tunisia, egypt, and yemen are incredibly brave. we have talked here about why people try to change their governments and why they protest. there have not been many images of the women participating in these protests. but here is a photo one that i encountered that says a lot about the power of non-violent protest, the presence of people from all ages and walks of life, and gendered resistance.

k was talking tonight at bed time and said that she thinks about the police shooting protestors. i showed her the picture and said that the army does not want to shoot the people and the people do not want the police to shoot. she said that is good because they are a community. yup.
