digital activism and my internal compass + a posting from the familiar youtube

Thinking more about researching social activism sites and what exactly I want from an activist site, I soon found something that was sort of like a newspaper website and sort of like a resource for historical/philosophical information (like marxism). This link will direct you to a piece of writing about the disturbing problem in Detroit of policymakers deciding that their people will no longer receive free water.

After our class discussion last week, I thought of this video my friend/former roommate had posted on their Facebook page a while back. It is half of an interview with Laverne Cox and Carmen Carrera on the Katie Couric show. I consider myself a white ally and I support the empowerment and efforts of those within the trans community.
