It's the 24th anniversary of the 1994 Violence Against Women act signed into law by Bill Clinton. I found an excellent article on the good that's been done in decreasing violence and increased education since then, and what's left to do to finish the job!
I've long held that when we stop all forms of domestic violence, we'll be well on the way to ending war. For your consideration, A powerful tool against domestic violence by Joe Torre and Esta Soler.
Here’s the link to the Wikipedia page on the Violence Against Women Act. Funny how some in the government are clearly against this law. That’s about as craven as it gets.
I also found a 10 minute clip on FB of John Lennon making the case for peace. This is John Lennon at his best, so figured it bears revisiting. What he said in 1968-69 is still true. The system is on a non-stop campaign to sell us war, and we need to sell peace. Only psychopaths choose war over peace.
Our task is non-cooperation with violent thoughts, feelings and actions! We must "sell peace" with the same conviction as those who sell war. This is 10 great minutes! (It's basically the 6 minute clip with "War Is Over" at the back end.) No Fear!
