Change.org: Egyptian activists need your help
Change.org members in Egypt are asking all of us to support them.
Late on Saturday night, two pro-Democracy activists — a young man and a young woman who’ve asked that we not use their names out of fear of imprisonment and torture — started a petition on Change.org, dictating the text to an ally over a phone line because the government has shut down the internet throughout...

Calling a woman a “dumb bitch” who “deserves to die” or a “cunt” who “should’ve been aborted” is not okay. I don’t care about how they said faggots need to burn in hell. You should know better than to use privileged misogynistic terms. Kill ‘em with logic, not hate speech!

I invite you to use FRIENDS’ online action centre to send a message to urge Lynne Yelich to stand up for CBC in Parliament.
You probably remember the shocking comments of Dean Del Mastro, a ...
