Coverage of the pro-choice rally and march in Washington DC on October 2nd 2021. The march from Freedom Plaza to The Supreme Court was organized to show opposition to the restrictive new legislation passed in Texas known as Senate Bill 8 (SB-8) and its copy-cat legislation being introduced in other states across the country which are attempting to challenge Roe v. Wade.
Coverage of a demonstration in Washington DC that took place on March 13th to show support for the people of Myanmar (Burma), and to raise awareness for their plight. On February 1st 2021 the military stormed into Parliament after the junta claimed fraud in their election, and took the duly elected representatives of the National League for Democracy (NLD) hostage. President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi are among those who have been taken along with all of their parliamentary representatives who were present on that fateful day. In response to this, the people of Myanmar have risen up in revolution, and the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) have been fighting soldiers in the streets ever since. Even though they are their own citizens the soldiers have been using live rounds against them as if they were enemy combatants, and deserting soldiers have confirmed that they have been ordered by their superiors to shoot to kill. As I type this on April 1st there are at least 521 unarmed protesters who have been murdered, and there are more than 2,600 who have been taken captive by the junta and their goons. Despite the horrible atrocities committed against them, the people of Myanmar are not giving up. If anything, they are fighting harder every day than they were the day before, but the harder they fight for democracy the more their military cracks down on dissent.
The people of Myanmar need our help!
