Today women are attempting to bridge the gap around the world. In Norhtern Africa they are demanding freedom.

Women are the largest global minority regardless of their numbers.  Cultural burdens have placed them at the bottom of the economic ladder with the greatest demand on their work in order to achieve what econoimc strength is afforded them.  Today is the Annaul Women's Day.

We invite you (click title to entry - thank you)  to join tens of thousands of people coming together on bridges all over the world -- from the Millennium Bridge in London, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, to the Grand Barriere Bridge joining Rwanda and Congo -- to show your support for women's causes and celebrate women's achievements.

Today I recognize the women of Northern Africa and the voice they bring to the peaceful revolution taking place.  They are truly remarkable.
