An activists start - 1 views

anonymous on 10 Mar 13I have been an activist for many years. I was born in 1951, and came of age in the Washington, DC area in 1969. The place was overflowing at that time with worthwhile causes to be active in. I was active in the civil rights movement, the women's movement (and am discouraged with some of the current parts of that movement) and the anti-Vietnam War movement (while supporting the troops themselves, at times a delicate balancing act). So, I am not an newbie to activism. I am, however, a newbie to having an activist blog. The cause which I am addressing myself to in this instance is liberty and justice. A broad topic, one might think, but one which I have found to be sorely under addressed. In particular, I am very concerned with the registries now popping up all over the place. The sex offender registry is one which impacts me personally. I have two sons who are listed on it.
