The law that was passed last year to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers is getting more than its fair share of battering. The bills are also going to be heard at the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime early next week. We all know one all too frequent answer is that they have no place to go. Frank wants as many co-sponsors on the bill as possible. The third annual Young Feminists Summit will be held in Washington, D.C. on April 11-13.
Young women can gather, share their experiences and develop skills for organizing.
Despite the best efforts of feminists, led by Gloria Steinem, the Motion Picture Academy nominated The People vs. Larry Flynt for two academy awards this week. The Hollywood Women's Political Commitee has taken ads in major newspapers urging Academy members not to honor movie producers who glorify hate speech against women with an Oscar nomination. If Flynt had published the same cruel images even of animals, this movie would never have been made. The Oscar show depends on women for most of its audience. And women are still making history.
