My wish is that this informative, helpful, hopeful video finds it way into the hearts and minds of: those TARGETS who are suffering; WORKPLACE BULLIES so that they may consider ending their malevolent behaviors that cause life-altering injuries to skilled, ethical workers, their colleagues and their families; and LEGISLATORS to move them to pass anti-workplace bullying bills. Imagine HEALTHY WORKPLACES in America
A similar video project is in the works for New York.
Dear New York Legislators, I hope your holiday season is going well, and all your families are doing well also.
Today, I write you as the close of the years is coming upon us. In a few weeks you will be thinking about your New Year’s Resolutions and what you can do personally to improve yourself, your families and your communities.

From the July 16 Anderson Cooper CNN 360 show: Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, who was not part of Zimmerman’s legal team, said “race determines everything in the criminal justice system.” “Nobody thinks of themselves as a racist, and I’m not accusing anybody of being a racist.

It’s in my nature to overanalyze and to equivocate, and to make light of the things that are most important to me, but sometimes even those who can close off their emotions with seemingly little effort come up against a force that moves us in strange and powerful ways.
I saw The Central Park Five at the closing night of DOC NYC last night, and at the end, when the five men who’d been wrongfully convicted came up onto the stage, together in one place for the first time since that night in Central Park on April 19, 1989, I was choking back tears, and maybe all my perspective (too much fucking perspective) has gone out the window, but I think this is one of the most important films I’ve ever seen.
This picture of Yusef Salaam is one of the most haunting pictures of the century.
Everyone should see this Ken Burns documentary at least once on the big screen. Then a few times on the screens at home. And recommend to families and friends and neighbors.
The House Republicans introduced a bill last night, The Spending Reduction Act of 2012, that would negatively impact the American people in several ways.
I’ve been spending so much time “studying” facebook that I’ve neglected this blog. That’s all about to change even though the first few steps can be measured in picas.
