Updates 5/2/12

Hello everyone. 

In dozens upon dozens of cities around the globe, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets yesterday, to demand equal rights, equal pay, and an equal chance at having a better life. 

Today, I will be posting links, with the names of cities, so you can see how the media reported what was going on. I feel it is important to compare what we saw and experienced to what they believe they saw.

As you look at these, remember the people you see in them. They are the true story. Those who fight everyday, to survive, to feed themselves and their families, to simply live.
