Lavena Johnson Update- Democracy Now Interview-- Imminent Nationwide Campaign

Democracy NOW has an interview with the parents of Lavena Johnson. Some pretty large new media activists are supposed to be launching a campaign to address Congress' failure to fulfill their oversight responsibility in this case. I confirmed that information this weekend and was told something would be happening on Monday, but you'll know when I know.

A new resource on the Hill has also been in contact with me and I am going to follow his advice and see where it leads. Blogging for justice is great, but the people who have the power to actually get Lavena Johnson's parents answers don't read blogs.

When the campaign is launched, you should be prepared to act and also offer financial support to these organizations because this might be a rather long fight.

STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW WE GOT 43 BLACK FOLKS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANSWERS ON BEHALF OF THIS BRAVE YOUNG BLACK WOMAN.
