I am new here, and wanted to introduce myself. I am Heathyr, 32, and a displaced western NY'er living in NW Ohio. I went to college in Buffalo and grew up near Geneseo, but spent alot of time in Rochester. I consider it home, to this day. Hope to make some new friends with fellow western NY'ers here! |   |

Hello,
We have a "situation" that has come up since the Council meeting last
Tuesday.
This Thursday, the Council is meeting to address the Subway.
This session is open to the public and runs from 5:45pm to 7pm. We
won't be allowed to verbally address the Council, but VISUALLY, we can
fill the gallery with bodies and Chill the Fill t-shirts. We've heard
from Councilman Mains' office, that if we plan to derail the fill, we
need to show up in large numbers. This will help us garner the support
of the other Council members. As Alan Oberst put it, "If your
grandmother is in town, bring her! If you have a date, bring them! If
your kid is reading Harry Potter, bring both!"
All you have to do is SIT there! Your presence may well be the
determining factor in the fate of the tunnel!
What can you do to help me get the Council Chambers full?

I'm working on a flyer right now that can be passed along, but I
need tons of help getting the word out. | | |

| “When Resistance is Right”
Saturday, June 4
4 p.m.
First Unitarian Church
(220 South Winton Road)
FREE and open to the public
A Panel on War Resistance
featuring:
~ Victor Paredes, brother of Iraq War resister Pablo Paredes
~ David Cline, national pres., Veterans for Peace and coordinator, "Bring
Them Home Now"
Victor Paredes is the brother of Pablo Paredes, a Navy enlisted sailor
who refused to deploy with his Iraq-bound troop ship in December 2004
because of his opposition to the war. Victor has been touring the country
speaking for his brother, who recently faced court martial for his act of
resistance. In a major, unprecedented victory, the Navy judge refused to
send Pablo Paredes to jail, finding instead that:
“...any service member has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in
… Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal.”
David Cline served in Vietnam in 1967 as a rifleman with the 25th
Infantry Division. He was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and
other medals. He is also disabled from the wounds he received. He was an
early member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and is currently a VVAW
national coordinator and president of Veterans For Peace. David is also
on the coordinating committee for "BringThem Home Now," a campaign of
military families, veterans, active duty personnel, reservists and others
opposed to the ongoing war in Iraq.
Come hear these two nationally prominent speakers.
Learn about war resistance and the need for our support.
And please help spread the word.

| Hello Everyone:
I live in Buffalo, but grew up in Rochester and attended Rochester City Schools from 3rd until 12th grades.
I graduated from Wilson Magnet High School in 1997. Eight years ago, there was no mention of gay people in my high school whatsoever. It was assumed we were not there. I was very much closeted in high school, but when I got to college I became less so. When I found the same situation at Canisius, I started a gay-straight alliance there.
I have been in correspondence with a woman who works inside a city high school and has been experiencing harassment because of the GSA club she started there two years ago. I am sorry to hear that things have not improved (and may have even gotten worse) in the eight years since I’ve been a student in the RCSD.
Please, please please take a few moments to read her story, and to write letters to the D&C/City/Empty Closet regarding this issue… Thanks.

EDIT: This transport has been
filled. Thank you everyone who cross posted and showed an interest, and
most of all to the drivers who volunteered.
Hello,
Attention all animal lovers in Binghamton, Syracuse, Geneva, and Rochester, NY: these dogs are on death row and in danger of being put to sleep this weekend. Please help transport them to where they're going. All they need is drivers, and an hour or two out of your day.
Drake is a pit bull mix of eight months. Because of his breed, he is burdened with a stigma and because he is no longer at that cute puppy stage, he has been passed over for a home for over four months. He is currently sitting on death row in a shelter in Philippi, WV... But Drake has a place to go. He has a family waiting on him. However, if Drake cannot make it to his family this weekend, he will lose his life. Just four legs stand between Drake and a chance. A total of four hours and forty-five minutes of time is all that is left to save this little boy's precious life.
There are also three chihuahuas traveling the same transport, but they are not necessarily as urgent as Drake.
Details here:

Thanks. | | |
