A somewhat eclectic blog that I haven't maintained consistently. I cover a wide range of issues here, but will focus mostly on personal and systemic change -- specifically with regard to criminal justice reform.

Motherhood and “El Lay Away”

Hola Everybody… Today, I want to wish all women a Happy Mother’s Day. I realize that for many, Mother’s Day may seem something of a relic, or a reinforcement of forced gender roles. For me, the archetype of The Mother isn’t a merely a downward segue into an extended rap on identity politics (justifi

Moral Politics

¡Hola! Everybody… I haven’t blogged since sometime in early January – the longest blog hiatus I’ve ever taken. My new gig (that I absolutely love!) has me busy. It’s a whole new set of skills I’m exercising — mostly writing but also entailing cultivating a different perspective. I suspect I will be

Don’t Believe the Hype! [Iowa Caucuses]

¡Hola mi Gente! Let me get this right: You are allowing, Newt Gingrich, a belligerent, bigoted, ethically challenged, hypocritical adulterer lecture you on morals and work ethics? LOL!

Occupy Wall St. [Day 13]

¡Hola! Everybody… Busy, busy, busy! Today, in addition to all the insanity, I facilitated two women’s workshops, attended a steering committee meeting for a campaign against racial profiling and police brutality (here), and stopped by Occupy Wall St. for an hour or so before heading home.

The Wall St. Occupation

¡Hola! Everybody… So… after watching the heavy-handed treatment of the Wall St. protestors… I decided to join in. I have friends/ former colleagues who have been Occupying Wall St. from the get, and early on I had decided not to get involved. Being involved in two other campaigns (one confronting ra

Labor Struggles

¡Hola! Everybody… It is Labor Day — people died so you could have this day off; for the right to bargain collectively, for the 40-hour week, and paid vacations. People died so that you could enjoy workplace safety and work while maintain at least a semblance of human dignity and living wage. The fre

Quacks and Insanity

¡Hola! Everybody… If you get a chance, shoot over to the Police Reform Organizing Project, a grassroots campaign aimed at promoting “changes in the wasteful, ineffective, unjust, illegal, bullying and racially biased practices of the NYPD” (click here).
