hear our voices
>> Thursday, February 24, 2011
It's been 10 days strong. I'm exhausted physically and emotionally.
I've been meaning to come back here to this space to lay it all out -- not necessarily for you, but for me to get out it, to articulate it all and make sense of what is happening and what it all means and how I feel about what I'm seeing, what I've been so honored to have been part of....
But I'm beat. And I have a deadline for work and my kids are getting sick and I'm hopping a flight to Denver tomorrow night for a sisters weekend away,
but this --
this,
weighs heavy on my heart.
a mini-documentary on why Wisconsin is protesting
Please watch. The video above was made by a friend. The one below by a stranger. They're both incredibly moving and illustrate exactly what it is that we have going on here in Madison, Wisconsin right now.
Whether you consider yourself "Political" or not, please just take eight minutes and watch.

I've been checking your blog for updates as well as following the news.
I wish I was there with you. :) Lots of us here in AZ stand behind you!
Thanks for posting these videos. I'm proud of you and of the people in WI!
This awareness is so important. Enjoy your time in Denver.
I find the whole issue so disheartening. Being a police officer and a member of my police federation for 15 years, I just can't believe what your governor is trying to do. I posted a link on my blog to these videos and gave you the credit. Hang in there, I hope the bill fails.
