After watching the movie the other day, and prior to the movie I went and observed a very depressing divorce mediation at the courthouse, I was feeling completely uninspired. I came home and was talking with my partner/boyfriend, still figuring that one out, and told him about the movie we watch about Juarez. He showed me a music video made by one of his favorite bands about Juarez. At the drive in- is the name of the band. Invalid litter department-is the name of the song.

that is the link to the music video.
This made me start to think. I was really happy to know that there was attention being brought to the women of Juarez and I wanted to know if anyone else knows songs or music videos that bring attention to important issues. The concept of there being a music video about Juarez gave me hope because this video has been looked at 78,000 times, which means 78,000 people know about Juarez and hopefully that will provoke change.
Recently I have been feeling like I'm majoring in oppression. Please respond with more hope!

we've got to find the hope in our selves.
ReplyDeletewe each have the capacity to mend this world a little bit. we've got our minds, voices, hands, hearts, spirits. our compassion is our greatest defense against complying with all messed up things in this world.
we can find heart in knowing that we will keep up the fight and keep up the love & support of one another.... we must be the hope. that's what feels real to me.
